Honey
Honey is known for its numerous health benefits. It has strong antibacterial properties that are useful in fighting H. pylori in the stomach. A study involving over a hundred people with indigestion who consumed honey at least once a week found that honey intake reduced their H. pylori burden. [7]
There are many types of honey, and all natural ones have antibacterial activity. If you want to include honey in your diet, you should consider getting manuka or oak tree honey. These two are the most potent types.
Probiotics
Your gut naturally contains a lot of bacteria that help digestion and help maintain normalcy in the gastrointestinal tract. When you are infected with H. pylori, the bacteria composition of your gut may become imbalanced.
Probiotics, also called good or beneficial bacteria, are good for your gut and may help bring balance to your gut microflora if you are infected with H. pylori. Lactobacillus is an example of a probiotic naturally present in the gut that can also be gotten from certain foods and supplements.
A review of studies found that taking probiotics along with medications helps improve their efficacy. [8] Research also suggests that consuming certain probiotics reduces the side effects of antibiotic treatments and improves the balance of bacteria in the gut. [9]
You can get probiotics from supplements or fermented foods. Fermented foods rich in probiotics include kimchi, kombucha, miso, sauerkraut, tempeh, yogurt, and kefir.
