Depends on frequency: Hello, based on reflux Monthly 3 to 4 X but if every week, as much as 30 fold increase according to Smith et al,an Australian medical study. H pylori is usually infections of stomach or small bowel and figures for others. Best if you are under care by a gastroenterologist and on regular ff up. Good luck.
