Positive & negative HPylori results! Please Help!

I am closing in on 27 years old. Female. Been sick & suffering for four long years. Chronic dizziness, fatigue, lightheadeness, nausea, extreme belching(sometimes hundreds of times a day), diagnosed last year with a rare form of hypoglycemia.. Reactive Hypoglycemia. I suffer random spells of tachycardia, & chest discomfort. Ive seen 3 cardiologists & had every test minus a heart cath(I tried to get thst, but told NO). Including: 3 stress tests, 5 holters, 3 echos, 5 ekgs & blood work 3 times since 2013. Nothing found other than mild pvcs, & tachycardia.

Long story short.. After probably $100,000 in testing.. My gallbladder suddenly went out & was removed. My hypos got way worse. That's when a 5 hour gtt DX me with reactive hypoglycemia. I decided to see a gastro & have an upper endoscope & biopsy revealed gastritis & positive hlylori. I treated with triple therapy & a stool sample 4 weeks later was negative.

I am now 1 year post treatment & horribly sick. Burping, hunger pains, terrible heart burn & acid reflux (never had before), hypoglycemia, Never truly got better... Recent tests show my iron is bordeline, my b12 is below ideal at 360, my magnesium rbc was borderline as well & a breath test was positive for hpylori. Gastro wanted another upper endoscope & the biopsy was negative. I just got the result in my online portal & don't know what to think!

Anyone else? Help!
