Brief Answer:
H. Pylori!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about infection. The disease is gastritis caused by a germ called Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori). This caused gastritis and generally needs three antibiotics and not 5. I will like to get his diagnosis, symptoms and the names of the different drugs so as to understand more of what was going on and provide more insights.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask of more information and clarifications if need be.
