Explanation:

Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that commonly infects the stomach lining. It is a major cause of stomach ulcers. Diarrhea is usually caused by other factors like viral or bacterial infections in the intestines other than H. pylori. GERD (Gastro - esophageal reflux disease) is mainly due to problems with the lower esophageal sphincter. Irritable bowel syndrome is a functional gastrointestinal disorder not directly caused by H. pylori.
