That's great news that your blood tests are normal. Hopefully the helicobacter one will be too, although if it's positive you'll have some antibiotics to clear it. It's a common tummy bug. Hope the results have reassured you and made you feel better.

you will be fine if all others were normal as they can pick up abnormalities in this test ,so like Myra says just give you meds if infection try not to worry too much ,,,
