[quote=spdrun]H. Pylori is 30-40% prevalent in Americans — no need to have picked it up while traveling.
Susceptibility is likely more down to genetics and diet than location. Good that you got rid of it; it’s reputed to cause ulcers, at least in some people.[/quote]
Ah.. I didn’t realize it was so prevalent in Americans as well. They said they rarely see it here. I guess because most people are asymptomatic? I’m not sure.
All I know is I’m darn glad they diagnosed it and I can go back to eating In-N-Out burgers and other junk food that I love so much! LOL.
For a while there I didn’t want to eat as there was so much pain all the time. All I know is now I’m back in FULL force clogging up my arteries. It feels good.
