14. Reinfection with H. Pylori<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nOne of the things that makes the H. Pylori bacteria so dangerous is the fact that it can appear to stay dormant in the human body for weeks to months at a time. During this time period, you’ll go back to experience no symptoms and you’ll be almost entirely sure that you’ve healed \u2013 but as soon as this time period is over, you’ll start to experience the same symptoms you did before until they heal over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is common for H. Pylori infections, and because the bouts of infection and symptoms happen so far apart, it makes it hard to diagnose for what it is and too often gets mistaken for isolated incidents of food poisoning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you notice that you’re getting what seems like food poisoning <\/a>more than once in a short time period or if it keeps happening every few months, have yourself tested for H. Pylori as soon as possible.
