There is no one symptom or set of symptoms that can be directly attributed to H. pylori infection. Some of the symptoms that may be associated with infection include nausea, abdominal pain, esophageal reflux, dyspepsia (upper and mid-abdominal pain), bloating, or belching. Conversely, one may be completely asymptomatic for many years, having no symptoms at all.
The only way to know for sure if you have H. pylori is to be tested. If you believe you may be infected, make an appointment to speak to your doctor, especially if you have any persistent signs or symptoms that concern you.
To learn more about different testing methods for Helicobacter pylori read the Testing for H. pylori section that describes the various ways physicians test for the infection. One highly recommended testing method is the Urea Breath Test, which offers a simple, non-invasive testing option – and provides extremely reliable results. In fact, various clinical publications confirmed that Urea Breath Testing is still the non-invasive test of choice for diagnosing H. pylori.
Remember, if you think you might have H. pylori, speak to your healthcare professional. The only way to know for sure is to be tested.
