A member asked:
How long can you have symptomatic h.pylori before it turns into stomach cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why do you ask?: The large majority of folks with this infection never get cancer from it. It's moot. If you are symptomatic, get treated. If someone has told you not to do this, they are wrong. Use "natural healing" (there are a bunch of claims) only as an adjunct. Best wishes.
