The Nobel assembly said the pair had used "tenacity" to challenge prevailing theories about stomach disease, making an "irrefutable case" that this bacterium caused more than 90% of duodenal ulcers and up to 80% of gastric ulcers. The discovery also challenged the prevailing treatments for ulcers. The committee said their pioneering discovery meant stomach ulcers were no longer a chronic, disabling condition, but a disease that could be cured.
Wow, thanks for posting this. I’ve had ulcers since I was a teen, off and on. I had a particularly painful one and my doc said I tested positive for H pylori and I took some killer antibiotics. But I know my problems are partially from stress, etc., so it didn’t make sense. Still doesn’t.
