Are these H Pylori Symptoms?

Hello I’m 24 (F) and I started getting really bad waves of upper abdominal pain starting April 15th

The pain was a burning, gnawing pain that seemed central to my stomach

Soon, the pain turned constant. The pain would flare horribly right after I ate about anything

I went to the ER twice and they took CT scans and ultrasounds at both and told me I had A LOT of stool backed up, and that I should flush it all out. I am currently tapering off a high dose of Cymbalta, which definitely hardened my stools, along with other nerve pain medications, for the past 5 months I’ve been on it

I got an H Pylori stool PCR test done and it came back negative. What now ? My GI NP won’t order an endoscopy for me and recommends I just take omeprazole on an empty stomach every morning for a month.

Feeling pretty lost and defeated. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
