Mild stomach gurgling when I lay down in bed, but no pain.
What could this be?

If you want to know if you have H. pylori, the best way is to get a breath/stool test.
the symptom you describe is too general, it may or may not be because of H. pylori.

I have h pylori. I did a stool and breath test about 3 weeks ago. Finished my 14 day antibiotic treatment last week.
Been burping a lot the last 4 days, PPI acid rebound?

PPI can reduce acid and fix acid rebound.
continue PPI if you are experiencing reflux.
continue PPI until you dont have reflux anymore. you can adjust the dosage by self monitoring.
remember that you have to stop PPI for a month before doing the follow up test.
alternatively, you can also use H2 blockers such as famotidine, as you can continue to take it until the night before breath/stool test.
