3. That is the consensus now.
The treatment is two weeks of antibiotics.

9. helicobacter pylori is the bacterium
h.pylori for short and it is what causes stomach ulcers. It's not some evidence; it is conclusive evidence.

5. H. pylori.
However as she damned her meds, NSAIDs may be the cause. However, it is just good medicine to test for H. pylori.

8. Ulcers are often caused by Helicobacter Pylori.
An antibiotic may help you quite a bit.
