It is extremely common to run into stomach issues when dealing with anxiety. If it's not the ulcer which it appears it is not, it is very likely the fore mentioned. Being conscious of your diet is imp too.

I think most of it is my fault anyway.. I do have the habit of eating while laying down and almost all the time I lay down immediately after meals
I do feel a bit better since I start taking probiotic.. I will charge my eating habit and lifestyle... oh and I dont drink nor smoke. it will be easy to just ajust my sleeping time
I also do have bad reactions to antibiotics though which I didnt tell my doctor about

Most of the medications used by doctors for digestive problems cause new problems when used regularly.  Because they suppress stomach acid, the stomach will produce more acid, causing a rebound effect.  It has to do this because the stomach must have acid to digest minerals and protein.  Assuming your h.pylori test is accurate, it doesn't appear you have an ulcer, at least according to this year's medicinal orthodoxy.  I would suggest, since you're not getting anywhere, to switch approaches away from medication to DGL, aloe vera juice, slippery elm, enteric coated peppermint oil caps, eating small meals through the day so you don't have an empty stomach, avoid dairy and wheat, don't lie down soon after eating and see if you notice improvement.  Take a refrigerated probiotic that has bifidus in it, both to replenish what the antibiotic has killed off and for digestion.  You need to get back into balance -- antibiotics kill off beneficial bacteria and can be very hard on the digestive tract and ibuprofen is very hard on the digestive tract, so what you need is recovery, not suppression.  Just my opinion, I'm not a doctor, but I don't think doctors are very good at treating digestive problems.

You should consult more doctors about your stomach...maby its serious and maby it is just your anxiety...but I think the best thing to do is to have the experts find out what is it.I am taking antibiotics and the doctor gave me somthing for my stomach..if you ask for something like this in the pharmacy they will give you!But you should defenately check it with a doctor don't let it be.
