If you struggle with bloating immediately after meals, stubborn acid reflux, or unexplained upper abdominal pain, you might be dealing with an overgrowth of Helicobacter pylori - one of the most common, yet misunderstood, gut pathogens.
Here’s a crucial fact that often causes confusion: many people have some level of H. pylori without apparent harm. The problem isn't always its mere presence, but its quantity and activity. When this bacterium overgrows, it can become a primary driver of chronic digestive complaints.
So, how do you know if your H. pylori levels are a problem? And what kind of damage can it actually do?
In our latest video, our gut health expert and functional nutritionist, Cecili Eckert, dives deep into the world of H. pylori as seen on the GI MAP and its connection to your symptoms. She explains:
The difference between harmless colonization and a problematic H. pylori overgrowth.
The specific symptoms it causes (hint: it's not just about stomach ulcers).
How it can suppress your stomach acid, creating a domino effect of other gut issues.

Beyond the theory, we believe in showing you the evidence. In this video, we walk you through a real-life GI Map test result from a client who struggled with multiple unexplained symptoms.
You'll see exactly how a high H. pylori result showed up on their report and, more importantly, how we connect the dots to other markers on the test, such as:
Low Secretory IgA: Could a chronic infection be straining their gut's immune system?
Signs of Maldigestion: How low stomach acid from H. pylori impairs protein breakdown.
Dysbiosis in the Gut: The downstream effect on the balance of bacteria in the intestines.
This case study clearly shows how one single overgrowth can create a "ripple effect" of dysfunction throughout your entire digestive system.
