How were the H. Pylori tests done? Pale stools might indicate issues with the biliary system (live, pancreas, or most likely the gallbladder). Antacids that contain aluminum hydroxide can also do it. Undigested food indicates malabsorption, which can have numerous causes. For the moment a prudent option would be to start taking probiotics, but you'll want to pursue this further.

Good luck
