H. pylori Diagnosis and Treatment: Key Updates You Need to Know

H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori) is a common bacterial infection that can cause digestive issues such as stomach pain, ulcers, and, if untreated, more serious complications. In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. William D. Chey, a leading gastroenterologist, professor at the University of Michigan, and Vice President of the American College of Gastroenterology's Board of Trustees.

As the lead author of the ACG’s newly updated guidelines for diagnosing and treating H. pylori, Dr. Chey discusses:
Why the updated guidelines matter and what they mean for patients.
How H. pylori is diagnosed and the latest best practices.
Treatment advancements and what patients should know.
The role of lifestyle and nutrition in managing this infection.

This episode provides essential insights for anyone facing an H. pylori diagnosis or undergoing treatment, empowering you with knowledge to take control of your digestive health journey.
