Does bile reflux reduce Helicobacter pylori gastritis?

CONCLUSIONS: Helicobacter pylori gastritis is less common among patients with bile reflux. In another study conducted in our outpatient clinic before the 2000s, the frequency of Helicobacter pylori gastritis was found to be 40%, but after 2000 this rate decreased to 22.3% due to bile reflux caused by the changing food industry. This result may be explained by the bactericidal effects of bile acids.PMID:35286038 | DOI:10.24953/turkjped.2020.2839
