Daniel_ has it alright. My Dad was diagnosed with a H_ Pylori infection, treated and his symptoms improved. He'd left the infection go so long though that he had a stomach ulcer and heartburn. The infection had caused acid reflux that ended up scarring his esophagus and leaving him with chronic acid reflux.
I myself ended up with thrush because of the H_ Pylori causing acid reflux. My Dr told me that it's so very common to have the infection without many symptoms that most people just pop antacids when they should really be getting treated for infection.
