Epigastric pain: Probably warrants a visit to a gastroenterologist. The discomfort and belching may just be reflux that might respond to a trial of an over the counter medication like otc Prilosec or similar. The weight loss is worrisome and along with the other symptoms needs to be further evaluated.

Dysbiosis: H Pylori although important is not the only cause for stomach problems. Often stomach problems are caused by imbalance to gut lining. Addressing diet, supplements, perhaps food allergies can do a lot to improve the problem https://www.thedocstu.com/blog/gi-mucosal-immunity
