I have just been to the doctors after years of stomach and bowel investigations. I was diagnosed with Ibs twenty years ago but the last five year I have had acid reflux really bad and feel bloated constantly whether I have eaten or not. Doctors have been diagnosing me with gastroenteritis but the last doctor suggested a test for helicabacter and wonders why I have not been tested for it before now. Can anyone help? don't really know much about it.

Helicobacter Pilory is a bacteria that's directly associated with gastroduodenal pathologies like chronic gastritis (inflammation of stomach lining), duodenal (first part of intestine that is attached to stomach) and gastric ulcers.

Do you have chronic or recurrent pain or discomfort centered in your upper abdomen?
Are you experiencing upper abdominal fullness and feeling full earlier than expected with eating?
