Helicobacter Pylori - are there many PBCers diagnosed with this too?

[Cristina_Romania]

Some studies associated several autoimmune conditions (among which rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's, autoimmune thyroiditis) with the presence of H. pylori. Which, in its turn, is associated with a high degree of inflammatory activity in the body and a low level of antioxidant factors.

Anybody out there with PBC having this as well? Thank you.

Hi Christina before I knew about the pbc I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia when they put a camera down doctors suspected h pylori but they tested me on two occasions both where negative hope this helps Wendy x

I have had the H Pylori infection definitely once and possibly twice. Noone has ever mentioned a connection between H Pylori and PBC. Then again only a very small number of medics that I have met know what PBC is!

I know that H pylori is a very common bacteria and that it becomes a problem for a relatively small percentage of the people who carry it.

Hi there, I was treated for it once too, had to take two different antibiotics at the same time. Not been tested since,

Hi you all!

I have also had the H Pylori at least twice! Now I am wondering did I check at the first time that they got it off... !#?¤:(!!!!
