Helicobacter Pylori
This germ has been found in over 60% of persons who have peptic ulcers and is believed by some to be the cause of the peptic ulcer. Several studies have shown that 70-90% of ulcer patients treated with Zantac or Tagamet will have recurrences within one year. Those treated for Helicobacter have only 5 to 10% recurrence. Helicobacter has been found in virtually all cases of acute and chronic gastritis and peptic ulcers. Following are ways to treat Helicobacter (in addition to the usual methods of treating peptic ulcers).
