Do Probiotics Work for Helicobacter Pylori?

Probiotics are not useful against H. pylori and cannot kill H. pylori directly. Helicobacter pylori is a kind of bacteria that colonizes the stomach, and Helicobacter pylori is closely related to the development of many diseases such as gastritis, gastric ulcer and gastric cancer. Probiotics generally refer to intestinal probiotics, commonly known as Bacillus subtilis and Bifidobacterium bifidum, which can maintain the normal environment of the intestinal tract, but cannot be used to treat H. pylori. For the treatment of H. pylori, the clinic is currently based on quadruple therapy, i.e., a combination of 4 drugs, including 1 proton pump inhibitor + 2 antibiotics + 1 bismuth agent, such as omeprazole, amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and colloidal bismuth pectin. Probiotics are not useful for Helicobacter pylori, if you want to treat Helicobacter pylori, patients need to go to the local regular hospital, under the guidance of the doctor to choose the appropriate medication, avoid self-medication, otherwise it may not work, but also delay the condition. During the treatment, pay attention to diet, choose light and easy to digest food.
