Abstract
Those with a learning disability previously cared for in institutions have now been discharged into smaller community homes. This has meant that an increased burden has been placed on general practitioners (GPs) to evaluate and treat those who have symptoms that may be difficult to interpret. This report presents the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori in those still awaiting discharge and discusses the possible symptoms that GPs may encounter.
