Abstract
A method of treating a mammal for the presence or the activity of H. pylori in the gastrointestinal tract is disclosed. The method encompasses orally administering to said mammal a sufficient amount of a scavenging, reacting or inactivating compound to remove bicarbonate ions, ammonium ions or urea which are present in combination with the microorganisms which colonize and infect the gastric mucosa. Such microorganisms have been implicated in gastritis, gastric ulcer disease and as a risk factor in gastric carcinoma. Also, the invention encompasses a method, utilizing similar compounds, for the treatment or prevention of dermatitis such as diaper rash wherein these compounds are preapplied to the skin or used to treat the diaper prior to use. Also included are compositions which are used for the methods described above.
