To provide comfy environment for h pylori development it helps to have GERD which guess what happens due to stress. So h pylori does cause ulcers, but they proliferate if you stress and in a way it's potato, potato. Choose between stress lots and take h pylori meds or, you know, not stress and be unlikely to get ulcers (and lots of other bad stuff!) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7210023/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7210023/

I was completely asymptomatic. That paper you linked to just included h pylori as a passing example of potential endogenous factors and did not make a more substantive claim. Note: I did not check any of the footnotes that mentioned H pylori, which might have done.
- throwaway290 4y agoIf you were asymptomatic, does it count as ulcers? Did you had broken stomach lining and stuff? If not, isn't it exactly what I said: h pylori does not automatically cause ulcers, unless you provide with a comfy environment to thrive by stressing/refluxing
