More Diet Info

     It's somewhat strange to consider that we have all this available information on H-Pylori and diet, but for whatever reason, it seems many doctors don't disclose this vital information to their patients.  Diet modification can greatly increase the chances of any treatment, therapy, or regimen of having success.  


     Also, H-Pylori reduces stomach acid and alters digestion, which can make some foods and beverages more problematic to consume.  This is something to consider for the time being as well.

Foods/Beverages/Herb/Spices/Etc To Consume:

     These are generally safe to consume, and most also possess some sort of anti-H-Pylori effect (noted with *), or protective effect on the body dealing with H-Pylori.  You can also use a combination of items and blend them into juices or smoothies, to possibly aid in digestion or just mix things up!
