Effectiveness of GastimunHp Plus in Supporting the Treatment of Peptic Ulcer Disease With Helicobacter Pylori Infection (GasHp)

Challenges in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) include increasing antimicrobial resistance and patient's low tolerance to some regimens. Lactobacillus johnsonii (L. johnsonii) and Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) have been shown to decrease the amount and activity of H. pylori in human stomach and can increase patient's tolerance. We conduct a single-center double-masked randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of GastimunHp Plus (a product combining L. johnsonii and IgY) in improving the clearance of H. pylori after six to eight weeks of treatment and side effects of H. pylori treatment. H. pylori is tested by C13- or C14-urea breath test.
