HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, some of these are symptoms that typically can occur with H pylori.
H pylori infection causes worsening of reflux symptoms. It does not usually cause constipation and diarrhea however, in most persons but everyone reacts slightly differently to infection.
If the symptoms improve after you have taken the course of medication then you would know that there is a definite link.
I hope this helps
