Had an endoscopy with biopsies. it found no stomach bacteria just mildinflammation.but, a blood test showed a bacteria infection in stomach. h.pylori?

Probably no H pylori: That blood test cannot distinguish between past infection and current infection. A biopsy will show you current infection. If you have biopsies that showed no bacteria, then you likely do not have current and active infection.
