The guideline for gastric ulcer treatment in Japan recommends eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) for the first choice. Recently, it is well known that some patients develop gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) after successful eradication. H. pylori infection may play a protective role against GERD by impairing gastric acid secretion. Acid secretion is influenced by the distribution of gastritis in the stomach. Antrum-predominant gastritis is associated with gastric hypersecretion. Patients with corpus-predominant gastritis have decreased acid secretion. The latter is common in Japan and at high risk of GERD after eradication. To arise GERD, both acid secretion and reflux of acid caused by hiatus hernia or gastro-esophageal dysmotility are needed. Although most of GERD developed after eradication are mild, severe GERD are also experienced at times. Recent view of GERD and H. pylori infection is described.
