Description:

H. pylori is a bacterium found in your stomach that can cause ulcers, heartburn and even stomach cancer.

Indigestion, nausea, belching and a feeling of fullness or bloating are sometimes symptoms of an infection by H. pylori. If you test positive for H. pylori, your doctor can treat this condition with antibiotics.

Why Do I Need It?:

If all those antacids aren't working, you may have a stomach bacterium that is causing your heartburn and/or ulcers. If nothing is done, it could lead to stomach cancer.
