if you have ulcer, you have to take PPI for at least a month.
if not, you can stop after you finish your antibiotics.
Although stool antigen test claim that they are sensitive even when taking PPI, it can sometime be interfere by PPI. So I would try to avoid all acid reduction drug before stool antigen.
