In treating patients with gastrointestinal disorders, physicians generally aim to increase the pH of the stomach (lower its acidity) to attempt to protect their stomach linings from ulceration which physicians initially believed was due only to stomach acid. It is most likely the bodys response to the bacteria which is causing the damage that leads to ulcers and stomach cancer. It doesnt matter regardless of whether it's Helicobacter or bacterial overgrowth. The stomach reacts the same.
