Patient's question:
Hello expert: Is Helicobacter pylori one of the causes of reflux gastritis? I previously had an endoscopy that revealed bile reflux gastritis, which improved after a period of treatment. However, recently my old condition has returned. I would like to know if it is necessary to undergo a Helicobacter pylori test. If it is positive, will it lead to reflux gastritis?Doctor's answer:
Encourage Helicobacter pylori testing and the treatment for Helicobacter pylori eradication. A large amount of evidence-based medical data and clinical diagnostic data have proven that Helicobacter pylori is highly related to reflux gastritis. Of course, your recent onset of reflux gastritis should also be closely related to your recent dietary habits. Currently, most treatments for Helicobacter pylori eradication adopt a triple therapy. It is recommended: Method 1. Omeprazole (20mg, 2 times/day) + Amoxicillin (1.0g, 2 times/day) + Metronidazole (400mg, 2 times/day).
