Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is understandable to be concerned however effective treatment is available for h pylori.
If the tests show that the bacteria did not respond to the medications used then your doctor will try another regimen that may work for you.
If possible it would be best to stop the use of the coffee because this is one of the agents that worsen these symptoms.
Other foods that may worsen reflux are : fatty/fried/spicy/citrus foods, chocolate, mint, alcohol.
Using small meals would also help relieve some of your symptoms.
I hope this helps
