See answer: H.pylori can cause peptic ulcer disease and gastritis. It is not a major cause of GERD and heartburn, but in some patients treatment of H. pylori will reduce heartburn. Follow the advice in My checklist"Treating Heartburn" and if you are still having symptoms check back with your doctor to see if he/she feels you need to have a Urea Breath Test to see if H.pylori is still present.
