I had no idea what Helicobacter pylori was. It's a bacteria that, apparently, lives in the digestive tract of half the world's population.[1]

H. Pylori can also lead to stomach cancer, please get checked if you have acid reflux, as it is treatable and goes away after a course of antibiotics.
I used to research h. pylori infections. Please finish any antibiotic courses prescribed. Antibiotic-resistant h. pylori sucks and is much more difficult and expensive to treat.
I had h. Pylori. It can also give you stomach ulcers, which was quite painful.
Along with many healthy bacteria, no?
Yes, IANAD, but most antiobiotics that treat H. Pylori will also kill gram positive bacteria.

Surprised by this. But Seems not to be the best of the germs. A nobel price was given due to the discovery of Helicobacter and ulcer disease:
