to maintain your good health. Good nutrition alone won't cure H. pylori. That said, natural health philosophies recommend whole, unprocessed foods for general health, which may improve your immune system response and support a healthier microbiome. A healthy diet includes: High quality lean protein like poultry and fish Fresh vegetables and fruit (in a variety of rich colors) Beans and legumes, such as lentils Complex carbohydrates from vegetables and whole grains Certain foods may have an antibiotic effect against H. pylori. However, they don't work the same way for everyone, and the effects are often minimal. You may want to include them in your diet as an extra boost in fighting your infection. The following foods could help treat H. pylori: Green tea Red wine Manuka honey Broccoli sprouts Although nutrition is not as simple as "natural versus artificial," most processed foods are less nutritious and may include substances with negative side effects (sometimes including suppressed immune response). Avoiding them may lead to better overall health, but it's unlikely to have a direct effect on the H. pylori. To check if a product is processed/packaged, check the ingredient list. The longer the list is, the more processed the food is. Processed foods are most often found in the center aisles in grocery stores. Less processed foods are found around the outer aisles and would include dry beans, fresh fruits and vegetables, brown rice, bulk foods and single-ingredient foods. Stay away from "quick and easy" ready-to-eat meals. Again, these tend to be highly processed and contain preservatives and other chemicals that are not really food. Green tea, red wine, and manuka honey have also shown antibiotic activity against H. pylori. Many of these studies, however, were done in bacterial cultures or lab animals, so there is no human dosage information available. It is probably safe to include green tea and manuka honey in your diet but to drink red wine in moderation. These may help with an infection.
Eat a nutritious diet Incorporate foods that may help treat your infection. Minimize processed and packaged foods. Try consuming other helpful foods.
