Recurring H Plyori Symptoms, Stool Test Did Not Detect It, Diagnosed With GERD, Stopped Nexium After Worsened Condition. What Should Be Done?

I had H Pylori . I felt fine while on treatment. After coming off it, my symptoms returned slowly. My gastroenterologist ordered a stool test that was negative for H pylori. So, he gave me Nexium ,said symptoms were GERD. Nexium made everything worst so I stopped taking it. What should I do? My Dr next step is to check my gallbladder. I don t think my problem is my gallbladder. I barely eat anything since may(when symptoms started) let alone anything greasy. I am feeling hopeless.
