I know it can cause weight gain or loss but for people who get loss how does it do that?Does it feed on the food of the host like tapeworm?OR when it makes imbalance in stomach acids it prevents the host from getting benefits from nutrients?

Good question. Usually when patients successfully eradicated H. pylori, their appetite improves and they would have weight gain.

in regards to weight loss, perhaps they have better quality of life and have better life style? i am not too sure.

I mean assuming this person does have a good diet and doesn't complain about loss of appetite put he has hard time putting on weight could this be from it or some thyroid gland problem?

I think it could be anything. I am afraid this forum is specific to H. pylori infection and we need to focus on the diseases related to H. pylori.

Hi! I think this contributes to weight loss because stomach problems manifest themselves in advanced cases of the disease, and a person cannot eat any food. Such a person will have to adhere to the rules of healthy eating in order not to experience discomfort and, therefore, lose weight. If you asked about it to know how to lose weight quickly, I think you should look at special supplements. For example, I use dietary supplements for weight loss from the website https://www.ihcginjections.com/buy/1-month-hcg-shots-mixing-supplies/. I hope my comment was useful to you.
