Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a corkscrew-shaped bacteria that was identified in 1982 as a principal cause of stomach ulcers and chronic gastritis, conditions which were formerly believed to be caused by stress and poor diet. Symptoms of H. pylori may include stomach pain, bloating, nausea, and tarry stools. Blood, stool, and breath tests can be used to confirm the infection and may be followed by an endoscopic exam to look directly inside the stomach.
Those who do will typically develop acute gastritis, an inflammatory condition characterized by bouts of abdominal pain and nausea. Over time, this may progress into chronic gastritis in which the symptoms are persistent. Common signs and symptoms include:
~Stomach pain
~Nausea
~Bloating
~Belching
~Loss of appetite
~Vomiting
