I've been experiencing the same thing. Have your bowel movements changed at all?

Hi joe

Yes I have experience slightly yellow stools sometimes
I was getting lots of soft stools with mucus but that has stopped recently.

Same here bro. My stools haven't been yellow but when I wipe after I have diarrhea there is some yellow. I've also experienced mucus in my stool from time to time. Let us know how it goes bro. It is most likely IBS or something far less sinister especially since your bowels have been improving. I have also experienced a loss of appetite I use to love to eat now I eat to live it feels like.

I haven't been checked for hpylori. What symtoms did you experience before diagnoses?

I don't know know how long I had hpylori for but the discomfort under my left ribcage has been since last year.
I read that hpylori can cuase stomach cancer. I seem to have all the symptoms and have got myself into a panic about it.
I keep telling myself that I am only 27 and keep trying to put it down to something else.
