Dr. Andrew Seibert answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

H pylori: Helicobacter pylori is an infection of the stomach and should be treated if present with a 1 to 2 week course of antibiotics. A lax LES could be evidence of acid reflux. It may be worth a trial of reflux medicine to see if it helps your symptoms. Good luck.
