Hello and welcome to HCM,
Nausea before meals suggests some gastrointestinal tract lesion.
A negative test for H pylori rules out infection with H Pylori.
There could be presence of gall bladder stones.
You need to take up ultrasound of upper abdomen.
If there is presence of gall stones, the nausea could be due to gall stones.
Gall bladder is surgically removed along with stones.
Consult a gastroenterologist for relevant investigations and further management.
Thanks and take care
