38. Helicobacter pylori, Low Stomach Acid & Histamine: The Gut Cascade Explained

·14 min·1 clip

For perimenopausal women, the triple whammy of H. pylori, low stomach acid, and SIBO can create a histamine-driven estrogen imbalance that causes massive suffering.

Naturopath Joanne Kennedy explains how Helicobacter pylori infection does more than cause ulcers—it lowers stomach acid, triggers inflammation and mast cell activation, and can lead to SIBO and systemic histamine intolerance, creating a 'histamine storm' especially problematic for perimenopausal women. She details the physiological cascade and discusses treatment dilemmas between antibiotics and natural approaches like sulforaphane.
