What is a bit of a myth? Sounds like stress is a factor but the bacteria is a direct cause in 90 percent of cases. The myth was that stress is "the cause".

  50% of people are infected with H.Pylori, so clearly the bacteria isn't a cause on its own. The myth is more that "stress doesn't cause ulcers", which many people now believe.

      It does. See the review above, and in my other comment.
