The guy who won the Nobel prize for giving himself an ulcer estimated it as 90%, which is very comfortably “most”. If that has been drastically estimated down I hadn’t heard.
Also don’t abuse advil, kids. OTC painkillers can burn a hole in your digestive tract. I in fact know someone missing a few feet of intestine because of chronic back pain and overuse of non narcotic painkillers.

In developed countries the proportion is closer to 10 to 15% [1, 2] [1] https://www.jwatch.org/na50875/2020/02/24/prevalence-h-pylori-positive-peptic-ulcers-decreasing-us https://www.jwatch.org/na50875/2020/02/24/prevalence-h-pylor...
