"You may have heard of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), E. coli, C.diff, and probably had traveler’s diarrhea on your trips. H. pylori, short for Helicobacter pylori, is a relatively new bacteria to the health scene, only being discovered in 1982. It creates an enzyme called urease that neutralizes stomach acids in order to survive. Its shape helps it penetrate and weaken the stomach lining, causing many problems when it colonizes."
