I was diagnosed in 1996 with helicobactor pylori. My sister has recently been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. She has some similar symptoms that I experienced when I had helicobactor pylori. Is there any link between these?

ulcerative colitis has not been found associate with H. pylori.

this topic has been discussed in other thread
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=39

in fact, some scientist even think there is an inverse relation between H. pylori and ulcerative colitis.
