Hello doctor! Yesterday, I went for tests and did many other procedures and came up with a positive conclusion for bacteria causing gastritis H.Pylori. I am confused about what to eat, what not to eat to recover from the disease in the best way. Plus, I think this bacteria is spread through saliva when communicating and using common utensils. So is it necessary to wear a mask throughout the process of meeting other people and use separate utensils such as bowls, chopsticks and spoons as isolation? Thank you doctor for advising me on the question of what to eat and what to avoid when infected with H.Pylori bacteria?

Hello! Don't worry so much, the doctor doesn't know how old you are, but H.Pylori causes chronic atrophic gastritis and can cause cancer, but it takes a long time, moreover the percentage of Vietnamese people My infection with H.Pylori is quite high, in some regions up to 70 - 80%.
When I detect H.Pylori, I will be treated with antibiotics, although I am resistant to many antibiotics, there is still a way to treat it, the problem is that I must adhere to the doctor's treatment plan.
After completing the treatment, the doctor will guide you on how to prevent re-infection with H.Pylori transmitted through food. However, the disease is not contagious and not as dangerous as I thought and does not have to be isolated at all.
You can go directly to the hospital of Vinmec Health System to be examined by doctors and provide intensive treatment. Thank you for trusting and sharing the question “What should I eat and abstain from H.Pylori infection and do I need to use my personal belongings?” to Vinmec. I wish you good health always.
