I'm dealing with an H. pylori infection and a peptic ulcer. The doctor advised me to take Amox 500mg, Sampraz 40, Metrogyl 400mg, and Claribid 500mg for 15 days. Is this enough to treat the H. pylori? Lately, I've also been experiencing stomach pain. Could you recommend the best test to confirm if the H. pylori infection is still present?

I'm sometimes hit with sudden breathlessness, especially after a big meal when my stomach feels really full. This has been going on for around 34 months and I often get these acidic burps. I'm also on medication for panic attacks, taking Serta 100 mg at night. I've also noticed that I've gained weight and my stomach's grown because I haven't been very active. Could this be related to obesity?

Can I still have small amounts of white flour or alcohol like wine, beer, or vodka if I have gallstones, especially on days when symptoms flare up? What foods should I stick to if I'm delaying surgery for now?

Avoid white flour and alcohol during gallstone flare-ups; stick to low-fat, fiber-rich, bland foods.
