Can diet alone cure H. pylori infection?

No, diet alone cannot cure H. pylori infection. Antibiotics are necessary to eradicate the bacteria. However, diet plays an important supportive role during treatment. Eating probiotics, fiber-rich foods, and anti-inflammatory ingredients like green tea or broccoli sprouts can help soothe symptoms and support gut healing. Avoiding spicy foods, alcohol, and caffeine also reduces stomach irritation. Think of diet as a partner to treatment—it won’t replace antibiotics, but it can improve comfort and recovery.
