Is Smoking Marijuana Safe While Suffering From H.Pylori Infection?

I was diagnosed with H Pylori, I was wondering if smoking weed will worsen my situation? I’m not a big smoker but I’ve taken a few hits and it seems to be the only thing making me feel better. Is it safe? (I’m currently taking my treatment the way my Dr. said)

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello. Smoking increases your gastritis and may cause acid reflux. You need to follow some lifestyle tips

1. Do not eat spicy food
2. Take medications for gastritis- pantop/omez/rantac
3. Take little food at frequent intervals. Breakfast around 8am, small snack at 11am, lunch at 1pm, small snack at 4pm and dinner at 8pm
4. Drink plenty of water
5. Do not smoke, take alcohol or tobacco and even excess of coffee and tea
6. Do not take much of stress. Stress aggravates gastritis
7. Do regular exercise. Atleast half an hour per day
8. Learn meditation techniques
9. Follow this regularly for 21 days. It is said that anything you practice regularly for 21 days becomes a habit
