Helicobacter in the stomach

How can one permanently get rid of a Helicobacter (in the stomach) in a reasonably healthy way? So far, I only know the way through antibiotics; I am grateful for any information.

Hello,

There is definitely no other way to get rid of Helicobacter than by treating it with antibiotics. These bacteria are extremely acid-resistant and live under the stomach lining. That is why one antibiotic is not enough and sometimes you need three or even four.

Unfortunately.
