Effective Natural Remedies for H. Pylori: Herbal and Dietary Solutions

I am stacking several supplements after having severe stomach bloating particularly in the evening. I have been diagnosed with H. Pylori in the past and I belive it has come back. I have been adjusting for the past two weeks and I am now starting to feel some relief...by adding oregeno oil, green tea, cranberry and Pepto Bismol after meals. Last night was the first night without bloating in a long time. Here is what I'm doing:

Personal Gut Healing + H. pylori Support Notes

(Updated protocol — HCl removed due to irritation)

Mastic Gum

• Directly antibacterial against H. pylori (damages its cell wall).

• Reduces gastritis and promotes mucosal healing.

• May lower stomach pain, reflux, and nausea.

• Use: Take on an empty stomach twice daily (morning and bedtime). Wait 20–30 min before food.

Pepto-Bismol (Bismuth Subsalicylate)

• Kills and suppresses H. pylori directly.

• Prevents bacteria from attaching to stomach lining.

• Coats and protects gastric mucosa; reduces inflammation and discomfort.

• Use: After meals and optionally at bedtime (up to 4×/day). Take 10–15 min after eating.

DGL Licorice (Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice)

• Protects and heals stomach lining; increases mucus production.

• Soothes gastritis and reflux; may mildly inhibit H. pylori.

• Use: 20 minutes before meals. Chewable tablets or powder form.

Marshmallow Root

• Coats and soothes irritated gastric tissue.

• Promotes mucosal repair and reduces burning/discomfort.

• Use: Between meals or before bed. Separate from medications/supplements by at least 1 hour.

Cranberry Extract

• Prevents H. pylori from adhering to stomach walls.

• Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory; may reduce recurrence.

• Use: With meals (capsule or unsweetened juice).

Berberine

• Potent broad-spectrum antimicrobial; targets H. pylori, yeast, and harmful gut bacteria.

• Anti-inflammatory and supports healthy gut microbiome.

• Use: With meals, 2–3× daily (usually 500 mg). Cycle: 4–6 weeks on, 1–2 weeks off.

Oregano Oil (Enteric-Coated)

• Strong antimicrobial and antifungal; disrupts H. pylori biofilms.

• Synergistic with berberine and bismuth.

• Use: With meals (never on an empty stomach). Take once or twice daily for 2–4 weeks, then cycle

off.

Green Tea (EGCG)

• Antioxidant and mildly antibacterial; reduces H. pylori activity.

• Helps reduce oxidative stress in gastric mucosa.

• Use: 1–2 cups daily, preferably between meals.

Fiber (New Addition)

• Nourishes beneficial gut bacteria; binds and eliminates bacterial byproducts.

• Promotes regular bowel movements and detox support.

• Use: Add slowly, away from supplements by 1 hour.

Probiotics (New Addition)

• Rebuilds gut microbiome after antimicrobial phase.

• Reduces H. pylori activity and improves gut healing.

• Best strains: Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 or ATCC PTA 6475, Saccharomyces boulardii.

• Use: 30–60 min before meals or before bed.

Notes and Observations:

• Betaine HCl removed due to stomach upset.

• Focus: soothing mucosa, suppressing H. pylori, and supporting microbiome rebalance.

• Avoid taking Pepto-Bismol, mastic gum, and marshmallow root together — space by 30–60

minutes.

Here is my schedule:

It has now been one week since I began my own remedies, and I am feeling better than I have in some time. I am sharing my daily regimen, so the work put in will help someone else.

Every day I drink apple cider vinegar. 2 teaspoons mixed with 8 ounces of water 2-3 times daily. In addition, I take 4000 mg's of coconut milk in pill form. I also take 2 DGL pills every day, and finally probiotics, 50 billion cfu's with live cultures. It is very important to ensure that you are guaranteed live organisms no matter what brand you buy. Also, please make sure that you buy the apple cider vinegar that is brown with "cobwebs" floating inside. The cobwebs are enzymes and called "mother". The clear apple cider vinegar without mother, has next to no health benefits. Okay, that's it. Again, this regimen has helped me feel better in about a week. I am still not 100%, but I will update all of you on my progress, and any changes to this regime.
