Helicobacter pylori: No. This organism does produce gastritis, peptic ulcers and predisposes to gastric cancer, although 70% of people with it in the GI tract have no symptoms. The cramping and the back pain can potentially be related to the changes caused by this bug, but not by the organism itself. Please see a GI doctor and have this explored further. Best wishes.
