H. pylori: A Small Bacteria Not to Ignore🦠

H. pylori is a common stomach infection that may cause ongoing discomfort. The thing is, many people walking around don’t even know they have it.

Symptoms can include upper-abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, loss of appetite, or early feelings of fullness. In some cases, it can lead to ulcers or ongoing indigestion. 🤢

If your stomach symptoms won’t resolve on their own, maybe it's time to get tested.
Our GI specialists can check for H. pylori using a breath test, stool test, or sometimes a biopsy during an upper endoscopy.

The good news — it’s treatable. If you’re experiencing these symptoms, talk to your doctor and get back to feeling like yourself. 💛

Are you catching enough Zzz’s? Or tossing and turning most nights?

We often hear about the risks of being sleep deprived. But have you considered how a lack of sleep could affect your gut health?

Quality sleep helps regulate gut motility, supports a healthy microbiome, and helps with symptoms like bloating, reflux, and abdominal discomfort. If you’re trying to improve your sleep and gut health, here are a few things to help improve your sleep.
• Skip heavy meals at least 3 hours before your head hits the pillow.
• Create a wind-down ritual before bed— this could look like dimming the lights and spending a few minutes to try box breathing.
• Say no to caffeine towards the later part of the day — even small amounts can interrupt your ability to fall sleep

What’s your favorite bedtime ritual? Drop a comment below.
