Hi youngjaem,

Here are some things that are part of the SCD protocol that might help:

Scientific papers that show that yogurt can help with H Pylori

Manuka honey and H Pylori

Vitamin B12 and H Pylori (From a post by Marilyn Alm):

I was looking for something else entirely, and came across a study in which

it was mentioned that Vitamin B12 supplementation may be beneficial for a

subset of people suffering from indigestion: those with delayed emptying of

the stomach contents in association with Helicobacter pylori infection and

low blood levels of vitamin B12. In a double-blind study of people who

satisfied those criteria, treatment with vitamin B12 significantly reduced

symptoms of dyspepsia and improved stomach-emptying times.

The specific study was

Gumurdulu Y, Serin E, Ozer B, et al. The impact of B12 treatment on gastric

emptying time in patients with Helicobacter pylori infection. J Clin

Gastroenterol 2003;37:230–3.

This might be something for you to check out.

I Hope that this helps,

Speaking of B12 and gastroparesis (which I have)......can anyone tell me why

the B12 might cause my stomach to burn? It does seem to get it

" going " .....but always with a burning sensation.

Any ideas?

I came across this and it's legal on scd. Pearl Olive Oil, the

rich unprocessed dark variety.

Helicobacter pylori is linked to a majority of peptic ulcers and to some types

of gastric cancer, and resistance of the microorganism to antibiotic treatment

is now found worldwide. Virgin olive oil is an unrefined vegetable oil that

contains a significant amount of phenolic compounds. Under simulated conditions,

we have demonstrated that these substances can diffuse from the oil into the

gastric juice and be stable for hours in this acidic environment. In vitro, they

exerted a strong bactericidal activity against eight strains of H. pylori, three

of them resistant to some antibiotics. Among the phenolic compounds, the

dialdehydic form of decarboxymethyl ligstroside aglycon showed the strongest

bactericidal effect at a concentration as low as 1.3 g/mL. Although the

experimental conditions are different from other reported works, this

bactericidal concentration is much lower than those found for phenolic compounds

from tea, wine, and plant extracts. These results open the

possibility of considering virgin olive oil a chemopreventive agent for peptic

ulcer or gastric cancer, but this bioactivity should be confirmed in vivo in the

future.

" In vitro activity of olive oil polyphenols against Helicobacter pylori "

Authors: C. Romero, E. Medina, J. Vargas, M. Brenes, A. de Castro

We evaluated the effects of a moderate consumption of olive oil on lipid

profile, BMI, and blood pressure (BP) in a group of 160 healthy men from

non-Mediterranean regions [Northern Europe (n = 50; Finland and Denmark) and

Central Europe (n = 60; Germany)] and Mediterranean regions [southern Europe (n

= 45; Italy and Spain)]. The study was a randomized, cross-over trial with 3

intervention periods of 3 wk and 2 wash-out periods of 2 wk. At the intervention

periods, 3 similar olive oils (25 mL/d), differing only in their phenolic

concentration, were administered to the healthy volunteers. Plasma oleic acid

levels increased 2–3% (P < 0.05) in men from populations with lower habitual

olive oil intakes (Northern and Central Europe). General linear models showed

that the administration of the sequence of the 3 olive oils was responsible for

a 3% decrease in systolic BP (SBP) (P < 0.05), but not in diastolic BP, in the

non-Mediterranean subjects. Multivariate analysis indicated

that the lipid profile did not change in either Mediterranean or

non-Mediterranean men due to the olive oil intervention. The results of this

study suggest that a moderate consumption of olive oil may be used as an

effective tool to reduce SBP of healthy men who do not typically consume a

Mediterranean diet. However, additional longer trials are necessary for

confirmation.
