Generally, H. pylori is asymptomatic unless there is a symptomatic ulcer present. It is likely that your symptoms are from uncontrolled acid reflux, given the description. Probiotics are unlikely to help. You should continue your current medications and supplement them with antacids such as Mylanta or Tums as needed for heartburn. Follow up with your G.I. doctor. Good luck.
