Hi thanks for asking question.

Noted stool examination negative.

Here chronic ulcer might be the cause.you have not mentioned which antibiotic given.

It could be by helicobacter pylori infection.
Urea breath test or endoscopy can be useful.

Endoscopy is right investigation as pain is since 1 year.Biopsy send for histo pathological examination.It might reveal non specific chronic gastritis, h.pylori, inflammatory bowel disease and might be tumour mass also.

So after investigating for h.pylori it better to go for endoscopy as further work up.By it cause will be clear.

Take care
