Hello,
I'm sorry to hear you are still having symptoms. H.pylori is sometimes difficult to treat but you should be persistent. It is possible that the bacterium is eradicated but sometimes the symptoms persist up to 4 weeks after the treatment. I would recommend you continue taking the dexilant twice per day for another 4 weeks. Try to eat small and frequent meals and avoid food that could further upset your stomach. If the reflux symptoms do not get any better, you should see a doctor for further investigation.
All the best
