Hi and welcome, Jasmine2020

I'm afraid I have no experience of HP, but hopefully your 3 treatments have done the trick.

NAFLD, contrary to popular belief, is the result of a diet high in carbohydrates, not fat, so to reverse it a low carb diet is the way to go. Here are some things for you to have a look at:

We've found active participation to be key to successful weight loss and, of course, it's a good way to get to know people, find inspiration and share support and encouragement.

Maybe it’s time to focus on health and well being before you attempt weight loss, maybe your gut biome is disrupted following the Heliobacter. There’s lots of information out there, but eating mostly vegetables and minimising processed foods is the most helpful. Also, I read it can take 6-12 months to recover following a serious Gastric Infection so please be kind to,yourself. 😊

Best wishes

As I said, I'm no expert on HP, but from what I've gathered from the internet, it's a bacterial infection that can be carried with no symptoms and no particular diet will cause it, but a diet high in carbohydrates can exacerbate. I found this:

Foods to Avoid with H. Pylori

I can’t emphasize how important diet is to h. pylori treatment. Not only could your diet be aggravating symptoms, but it could be causing h. pylori to proliferate!

1. Carbohydrates

Bacteria are living things. Just like all living things, they need to eat something – and they particularly love carbohydrates. So, it is no surprise that studies have found that people who eat more carbs have higher rates of h. pylori infection.

You can’t get rid of carbs completely (healthy fruits and veggies are going to have some carbs in them). However, you can make sure that you get rid of all of those sweets from your diet, ditch bread and grains (which wreak havoc on your gut anyway), and up your protein consumption instead.

Note that soft drinks are particularly terrible for h. pylori. Studies show a correlation between soft drink consumption and h. pylori. Since they are loaded with sugar, chemicals, and preservatives, there is absolutely no reason you should be drinking these! (Source 1, 2, 3)

2. Salt

Salt isn’t directly going to feed h. pylori and make the infection worse. However, salt will increase your risk of getting cancer if you have an h. pylori infection!

Why? The theory is that salt disturbs the viscosity and integrity of the stomach mucus, thus making it easier for h. pylori to colonize it and cause damage. So lay off the salty foods!(Source 1, 2)

3. Pickled Foods

One of the things you’ll find across zillions of webpages talking about h. pylori diet is that you shouldn’t eat pickled foods.

Wait, but I thought pickled foods were good for my gut!

Yes, studies show that eating pickled foods increase risk of gastric cancer with h. pylori. What they fail to mention is that these are commercially-bought pickled foods that are made with vinegar and lots of salt.

Eating lacto-fermented pickled foods is actually good for h. pylori because they contain healthy probiotics which can fight h. pylori. So, go ahead and eat fermented pickles and skip the supermarket ones. (Source 1, 2)

4. Coffee and Alcohol

These two substances are notorious for aggravating ulcers. Wait until your stomach heals until you start consuming them again.

5. Foods that Irriate the Stomach

H. pylori damages the lining of the stomach and cause inflammation. Any foods which further damage the GI tract are going to be terrible for your healing process.

This means avoiding all processed foods, sugars, and gluten — foods which could lead to leaky gut syndrome. When your stomach is healthy, it will be in a much better position to fight off h. pylori!

Hi I am not expert too 🤪 but I learn as I go now to get to know what my body needs. I read a lot on the internet about HP joined a group on SM and to be honest I was shocked hearing the HP mostly is caused by eating poor food coz this is not the case for me. Anyway I need to loose weight to improve fatty liver so Ill be following your advise

Xxxxx

I doubt it was poor food, it was probably a dodgy kiss!

Moreless is totally right - quite often linked to fructose in table Sugar and fructose in fruit. Cut out all sugar and swap to berries instead if apples and bananas. You want to go a step further, cut out flour based products and breakfast cereal. Lastly cut out starchy veg such as potatoes , parsnips and carrots and Beets - though studies say if you cook a new potatoe , let it cool , then re heat it , your body is less likely to access the carbs in it.( resistant starch )
