Helicobacter Forums

I have seen studies on which foods might have anti Helicobacter pylori effects. For example, ingesting broccoli, garlic, berries, olive oil, mastic gum, high quality honey etc. seem to lead to partial redemption.

I have also seen studies about what might make an H. pylori situation worse - for instance sugars, salt, nickel and iron.

But what does it actually feed on? What does it need for survival? Does it eat hydrogen, oxygen, sugar, fats, heavy metals or something else?
Could I get better by starving it from its energy sources?

And also, am I right about the statements above?

your body provides all the needs for H. pylori. While it is true that garlic, broccoli, honey, salt, chilli, etc can kill H. pylori, but only in the laboratory. In fact, H. pylori is so fragile, it survive poorly outside human body. The reason those natural product cannot kill H. pylori in the body is because it's hiding under the thick mucous that prevent acid from digesting the stomach.

The reason antibiotic is able to kill H. pylori is because antibiotics are absorbed by your body and flow in the blood. The blood is supplied to the stomach cells and intoxicate the H. pylori cells.

OK. Thanks!
Do you know more specifically what the body provides for its growth?

H. pylori requires lots of iron and urea. and other basics from killing your stomach cells.
