<human>: Hello Dr. Grief,Ive recently tested positive for h. pylori, I was wondering if you could please describe some of the symptoms that may occur because of this diagnosis.  I have been symptomatic for quite some time now, and would like to see if this is the answer.  Thank you for your assistance.
<bot>: Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor! H. Pylori is a bacteria (Full name: Helicobacter pylori). It basically causes increased secretion of gastric acid in your stomach. This leads to symptoms like Acidity, burning pain in stomach, chest burning pain, vomiting etc. In severe cases, it also leads to Gastric ulcers i.e. ulcers in stomach.  H. pylori is often found in several patients who are totally asymptomatic. There is a treatment regimen available for H. pylori infection and I strongly recommend you to take it. Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have any doubts. Wishing you good health. With warm regards,
