Washing your weed wtih soap then water prior to drying it or drying it at fairly high temperature (275 or higher) would get rid of the H. Pylori.
Seriously, vegetable matter can contain H Pylori.

So, obviously getting cured of H pylori with antibiotics and bisthmuth would be a start. Then, irritated stomachs in many people are further irritated by the gut stimulation effect of marijuana. This is generally a mild effect.
