While chronic Constipation does not cause H. pylori ulcers, severe stool backup can significantly worsen existing symptoms. The constant pressure and straining increase stress hormones and intra-abdominal pressure. This pressure forces stomach acid upward, exacerbating reflux and irritation in the ulcerated stomach lining. Furthermore, severe constipation disrupts the entire Gut Microbiome and slows the elimination of waste, creating a highly stressed environment. Prioritizing Bowel Motility through fiber and hydration is crucial for managing overall Gut Health and reducing the systemic strain that can trigger painful flare-ups in conditions like H. pylori and acid reflux. #HPylori #Constipation #GutHealth #Ulcer #digestivehealth - @calmbowelsclub
