A few months ago, I was diagnosed with H. pylori. I live a healthy life and maintain a relatively clean house. How would a person spontaneously contract the bacterium? Others in my household have tested negative for H. pylori. Could it be something that I picked up in a public place? I do not travel, let alone to developing countries or third-world nations. I went to urgent care in April and was admitted to the ER because I could not keep down liquids, solids or medications. They diagnosed me with gastroenteritis. I have two sick pets: They have both been diagnosed with IBD, though one has been controlled with a diet change. Could H. pylori be transmitted from animal to human? Any information would be helpful.Wed, 16 Sep 2009 13:31:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/expert.q.a/06/30/diverticulitis.probiotic.brawley/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/expert.q.a/06/30/diverticulitis.probiotic.brawley/index.html#cnnSTCTextI've heard that probiotics can help with diverticulitis.
