Can Helicobacter pylori cause diarrhea

Diarrhea is one of the most common diseases in our lives. It can be said that many people do not treat it as a disease, because diarrhea will heal itself in many cases. However, if diarrhea is caused by bacterial infection, drug treatment is required. There are many bacteria that cause diarrhea, and many friends think that Helicobacter pylori is one of them. So does Helicobacter pylori really cause diarrhea?

No. This is the main cause of stomach problems, but it will not cause diarrhea. This diarrhea is generally seen in intestinal infections, often due to eating unclean or too much food. These foods will ferment abnormally in the intestines, producing some toxins that irritate the intestinal mucosa. The intestinal mucosa will quickly excrete these substances, which is also a physiological protection phenomenon. Another type of diarrhea is caused by abnormalities in the autonomic nervous system that controls intestinal peristalsis, which is caused by mental tension and excessive stress.

This is the reason why many people often suffer from diarrhea due to excessive stress. When diarrhea is severe, it can develop into colitis. Some people suffer from constipation sometimes and diarrhea sometimes. If this continues for a long time, it will lead to colitis and even develop into colon cancer. It is recommended that you drink more water, eat a light diet, and take oral montmorillonite powder to improve symptomatic treatment. If it is ineffective, you need to see a gastroenterologist.

Helicobacter pylori is a spiral-shaped, micro-anaerobic bacterium that has very strict requirements for growth conditions. It was first successfully isolated from gastric mucosal biopsy tissue of patients with chronic active gastritis in 1983 and is currently the only known type of microorganism that can survive in the human stomach.

Medical scientists believe that it is not difficult to completely eliminate Helicobacter pylori. After 1 to 2 weeks of treatment, 90% of people infected with the bacteria can have Helicobacter pylori completely eliminated from their bodies.

After knowing that Helicobacter pylori will not cause diarrhea, I hope that all friends can have a correct understanding of Helicobacter pylori. I also hope that when diarrhea occurs, you will not be too nervous. After all, this is not a serious disease and it can usually be cured with treatment. I also hope that all friends can pay attention to food hygiene in daily life, do not eat unclean things, and avoid diarrhea.
