An Acid Reflux Case Study

A 46 year male was seen with a two year history of chronic acid reflux. Although using over the counter medications provided some temporary relief the problem still persisted.
I decided to dig a little deeper and ordered a H.Pylori serum test. There is some support literature on the relationship between GERD and H.Pylori.
His test was highly positive for H.Pylori.
After a 90-day treatment protocol his symptoms were gone and repeat H. Pylori testing was negative.
The results were promising with a total eradication of the acid reflux symptoms followed with a negative serum post test for H.Pylori.

This short case review should prompt one to consider investigating the presence of H.Pylori in patients suffering with GERD (acid reflux).
