CRP is non-specific: and generally indicates system inflammation, not anything specifically targeted. It's an inflammatory marker, and depending on if your h. pylori is causing gastric ulceration, it may not show an elevated CRP unless later in the course. H. Pylori is easily treated with meds. See your doctor. Then recheck with breath test. This can affect digestion, and absorption. So get relief now.

Likely not: It is a bug that can live in your body and causes symptoms with other circumstances. CRP is a non specific marker of inflammation.

Maybe: but even though, it is a non specific marker for gastritis. If you have likely gastritis symptoms and not responding well to first line treatments, you may need to be referred to a gastroenterologist, for possible endoscopy after evaluation, best wishes
