how long after h.pylori and ulcer for digestive system to return to normal

hii all, i was diagnosed with a nastly h.pylori infection and a stomach ulcer, i look two antibiotics with lanzaprosole for 10 days, the treatment finished a month ago, i was wondering how long does it take for the body to return to normal

i am asking this as its been a month now, but i still havnt gone back to my normal strength at the gym, my full stamina has not returned and i still get tiny bouts of sickness, the treatment was very effective and i have been much better since, but just feel like the healing proccess is very slow and needed to know is this normal or could there be more issues, to clarify non of my current symptoms are big.

thanks in advance

Take probiotics to get your body back to normal.  Look for something called kefir;  it's like drinkable yogurt, and restores your good bacteria better than yogurt does.

Antibiotics are very harsh on your digestive system, so you need a little more time to recuperate.  If you're doing alright after a month you're lucky.  There are many forums where people who have done the therapy you did take many months to recover.  Don't worry, keep going to the gym, and eat right!
