Influence of anti-Helicobacter triple-therapy on intestinal microflora – (09-06-01)



Influence of anti-Helicobacter triple-therapy on intestinal microflora

The question posed in this article is interesting. However, the results of this study may fuel debate between traditional gastroenterologists and functional medicine practitioners. I have had discussion with a few specialists who believe in the GI tracts’s ability to restore to homeostasis after an insult. This article supports this concept. Unfortunately, I think this article will prove to be misleading. Antibiotics unquestionably alter the flora of the GI tract, usually in adverse ways. The Updates have repeatedly outlined the damages to overall health with disturbed GI microflora. The data on this article do point to changes that occurred that will adversely affect the health of the GI tract (increase in Candida, Klebsiella…), although the abstract does not touch on it.
