Core Tip	By gathering a large volume of published data, this review attempts to shed light on the mechanisms and confounding factors underlying the potential link between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). However, whether the link between H. pylori and IBD is coincidental, epiphenomenal or mechanistic remains to be elucidated as there are contradictory data regarding both the causative and the protective role of H. pylori infection against IBD. This review provides a tool for researchers in this field to use as they perform further research to find the missing links.
