H. Pylori infection can cause autoimmune disease like rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, Sjogren
Autoimmune Diseases and H. Pylori: What's the Connection?
If you suffer from an autoimmune disease, you may want to consider getting checked for H. Pylori. This is a common bacteria that resides in the stomach and can contribute to various autoimmune conditions.
I recently conducted a stool sample for one of my clients, and the results came back positive for H. Pylori. This client was also suffering from multiple autoimmune diseases, which is not uncommon. Research shows that H. Pylori can play a role in the development of conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune thyroid disease, type 1 diabetes, autoimmune liver disease, rheumatoid arthritis, low white blood cell count, lupus, Sjogren's disease, chronic mast cell activation, and psoriasis.
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to get checked for H. Pylori. A simple stool sample is all it takes to determine if the bacteria is present. And the cost is often less than $30.
