Welcome to HCM.You need to see your doctor /Gasteroenterologist who can treat the h pylori infection with the requisite drugs.GERD will need to be ruled out .Use of Sucralfate ,a drug which protects the gastric mucosa from damage may be added to the therapy along with the antibiotics,PPIs and other drugs.A Ultrasound scan to rule out gall bladder disease and pancreatic problems may help.
