Er told me i had a stomach ulcer. wanted to c if they tested for h.pylori, what kinda code on blood work would be for h.pylori?

EGD: H pylori is checked via biopsy, which is done during a gastric endoscopy (egd.) you won't find it on your basic blood labwork. Your doctor can help with detailed answers. Good luck.
