Many medical authorities and knowledgeable websites have recognized amongst the other canker sores causes that the bacteria helicobacter pylori could also be to blame.

2. Canker Sores Causes –
A Bacterial Culprit?

3. Of all the canker sores causes that
I’ve talked about on this blog, one
that I’ve never really delved into is
a potential bacterial cause of
canker sores.

4. Truthfully, I spend so much time
trying to dispel the myth that
canker sores are caused by a virus
(herpes) that I haven’t spent
much time talking about a
potential bacterial connection.

5. Many medical authorities
and knowledgeable
websites have recognized
amongst the other canker sores
causes that the bacteria
helicobacter pylori could also
be to blame.

6. WHAT MAKES HELICOBACTER
PYLORI ONE OF THE POTENTIAL
CANKER SORES CAUSES?

7. Helicobacter pylori is a bacteria
that is found in the stomach,
one of the many bacteria that
lines the length of the digestive
tract to help us manage to
squeeze some kind of nutrition
out of the nasty fast food we eat
every day.

8. In normal amounts, it’s a healthy
and good thing to have. But just
like ice cream, dodgeball, and
visits from your family, too much
of anything can be bad.

9. DISGUSTING SIDE NOTE: Did
you know that some scientists
believe there are more bacteria
in your body than actual cells?
At what point are we just
bacterial colonies being held
together by people stuff?

10. In 1982, scientists discovered that
helicobacter pylori was prevalent
in patients with gastritis and
gastric ulcers, leading to the
conclusion that many cases of
stomach ulcers may be associated
with the bacteria. This was the
first time a bacterial cause was
ever suspected in the case of
stomach ulcers.

11. Even though an estimated 80%
of people who are infected
show no symptoms whatsoever,
and it’s thought that 50% of
people in the world harbor this
bacteria, as you can imagine, it’s
not a huge leap to conclude that
it could be a cause of mouth
ulcers as well.

12. SO, IS BACTERIA ONE OF THE
REAL CANKER SORES
CAUSES?

13. Like so many issues related to canker
sores, there’s not much definitive
proof.

14. Scouring the internet, I can’t
find any study that has really
examined this possible
connection. What I have found
is page after page after page of
articles listing it as a
“possibility”.

15. So, lacking any definitive
conclusion from the world of
science, all we’re left with is guess
work. So here’s my guess: Peptic
ulcers and canker sores are not
the same thing, and likely peptic
ulcer causes and canker sores
causes are probably two different
things as well.

16. There are several studies that
have made a link to immune
system response and canker
sores. And any kind of infection
will trigger an immune system
response, so if you have an H..

17. pylori infection, it would likely
trigger your immune system
and could bring about mouth
ulcers. My bet is that if there’s
any real connection between
the two, it’s most likely that.

18. But, helicobacter pylori does
have a real correlation to
stomach ulcers, so if you get
both mouth sores and stomach
ulcers, there are 2 things to
consider. 1: That someone may
have put a curse on you because
that’s a horrible fate.

19. And 2: That helicobacter pylori
might be the culprit. I’d
encourage you ask your doctor
to test you for the bacteria,
which can apparently be done
with a simple blood test.

20. WAYS TO AVOID A
HELICOBACTER PYLORI
INFECTION:

21. H. pylori can be found in
contaminated food and water.
So try to live in the developed
world and cook your meat well
to avoid excess exposure.

22. Other than that, rinsing with
antibacterial mouthwash can
prevent food bacteria in your
mouth from becoming a bigger
problem, and if you are infected, it
can be treated very well with
antibiotics. So it’s not a life
sentence.

23. Bottom line: the science isn’t
completely there on helicobacter
pylori being a cause, but that can be
said of a lot of the canker sores
causes. If you get stomach ulcers as
well, it would very much be worth a
visit to the doctor to find out.

24. Otherwise, just be clean and
rinse your mouth – which are
things you should be doing
anyway.
