H.pylori treatment: If someone tested you for h. Pylori, they thought you may have symptoms from it. It can also cause an acute gastroenteritis or dyspepsia (bloating, nausea). Because it is associated with ulcers and stomach cancer, treatment is recommended. There are strains that may be protective to reflux however testing does not differentiate strains. H. Pylori mixed with aspirin/nsaid increases ulcer risk.

Correct the HCL: From the holistic point of view, H. Pylori survives in the stomach because of not enough HCL (stomach acid). Antibiotic treatment may be affective temporarily, at best. The PPI (anti acid) will cause deterioration in digestion function. Please read the side effects before you take it. My suggestion is to take HCL and digestive enzyme instead.
