well alot of habits affect are stomach and bowel movements it is no doubt scientifically proven that patients having anxiety and depression are more prone to problems related to stomach like acidity ,indigestion.you can improve your dietary habits to get rid of such problems like low fat intake diet ,lesser use of alcohol ,caffeine .People with Sedentary life style are also prone to symptoms of gastric discomfort.Change your habits as mentioned above and do take a lab.test of urease breath test that will confirm whether this recurrent condition is a cause of H.pylori infection or just occasional symptoms ,if it comes positive than start h.pylori eradication therapy for 14 days.
