HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Treatment for H pylori involves the use of antibiotics for a prolonged period of time.
Antibiotics can cause gastrointestinal side effects such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting but these symptoms normally decrease after the course is completed.
If you are still having persisting pain and diarrhea, you should consider visiting your doctor for an assessment because this should not be the case.
I hope this helps
