Re: Need some advice on reflux and gastritis

My two cents

Could be SIBO and leaky gut but many other things also. One possible way to test for bacteria in the stomach is by mouth throat swab. They did found a enterobacter in my mouth two years ago and another cz user reported e.coli and klebsiella.

Except the case you picked a bacteria or something else USUALLY the overgrowth comes from within the gut by gram negative bacteria.

What test did you have for h.pylori? It took me 3-4 years to discover i had it but poor performed tests overlooked it. When its chronic HP can help other bacteria to proliferate or yeast. Not saying you have it...

Another possible test is A GOOD stool exam not by usual NHS system.
