Helicobacter pylori : H. Pylori is a bacterium which infects a large portion of the world's population, particularly in less developed environments. Most people have no symptoms or problems from it their whole life, but some develop inflammation of the stomach lining, known as gastritis, or even duodenal or gastric ulcers. It can be treated if identified. See your doctor if you have chronic stomach issues. Good luck.

H.Pylori: If you are diagnosed with h.Pylori, it is usually not a bad idea to treat, particularly if you are symptomatic. It may even prevent stomach cancer: http://www.Laendo.Net/english/helicobacter-pylori-hpylori.

Treat: See your doctor for treatment. If the infection is confirmed, treatment with a combination of pills, is usually effective in eradicating the infection.
