Every day I get agonising heartburn despite taking indigestion remedies. Is this anything to worry about?
By Yours Health Expert
These episodes may be linked to H Pylori, a bacteria which can be associated with ulcers. Seek medical advice immediately if you experience sharp, persistent stomach pains, black stools and bloody vomiting. Ulcers need to be dealt with promptly.H pylori can be treated with a simple combination of drugs to kill the bacteria itself, reduce stomach acid, and protect your stomach lining. You usually only need to take the drugs for a week.Stop smoking, avoid aspirin and non-steroidal tablets (NSAIDs) for arthritis or pain control if possible, and reduce alcohol intake and stress levels. Camomile herbal tea, liquorice root and cabbage have all been claimed to be beneficial to people with peptic ulcers and may be worth trying if other treatments have failed.

Stress has always been a major health issue and a good "catalyst" for all sorts physical problems. So it might be a good idea to lower your stress levels to a minimum. Also green tea is a great way to boost your health. Tea and an unstressed mind are also great cures for yeast infection.

This article provides very useful information about H Pylori. I've recently taken a Master's in public health degree and I have a lot of patients who have this bacteria and some of them have terrible stomach pains.The treatment is not very difficult and it can be made at home but there are certain meals that are not recommended.In some cases I am giving them antibiotics as they are very good in order to cure this infection and to prevent possible complications.

You might want to check yourself for candida, although it's a simple yeast at first, it can mess up your mood and your organism if not treated. I've tried a Threelac candida treatment and got rid of those symptoms.

There are a lot of heartburn treatments that are very efficient.I had problems with indigestion too and after I've taken a treatment I had some awful heartburns.My best friend works in one of those Mexican Pharmacies and she gave me a treatment based on plants which is great.
