Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You have mentioned you are having Helicobacter pylori infection. For that H. pylori kit contains three drugs Amoxicillin plus, Clarithromycin, and Omeprazole taken for 14 days. After treatment eradication of organism can be confirmed by urea breath test. If you still have GI issue, endoscopy can be planned and Rabeprazole is started. As per my advice with keeping all these in mind consult gastroenterologist for examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
