Could someone help me understand why H-Pylori keeps coming back, when I've tested negative in previous years. I've erradicated after antibiotics, and tried ayurveda and chinese medicine.

Quick timeline:

2017 - tested positive. Used Metronidazole Clarithromycin. Don't think it worked, they wouldn't retest.

2020 - tested positive again. Used Amoxicillin and Clarithromycin (after using mastic gum, brocolli seeds and black seed capsules).

2021 - Endoscopy confirmed negative.

2022/23 - Stool tests and GI Map confirmed still negative.

2026 - Tested positive again - same symptoms.

Anyone have experience in treating these?

I've tried a practitioner, and many ayurvedic herbs (avipattikar and others).

I've never fully recovered or being able to manage them well - I have health organic diet, don't drink alcohol/coffee etc.

Don't really know what else to do.
