Is it possible to get a false negative on the breath test?

I had taken "Inner Health Plus" - a pro-biotic seven days before the test. This was a month ago.
I have been having severe nausea, occassional vomiting, pain/pressure in the epi-gastric region with excessive gas and bloating since December. The nausea does not follow a trend or seem to be related to any particular food type. I wake up with a sharp sort of pain in my stomach, which also reoccurs during the day if I haven't been continuously eating little and often.
I have had a confirmed negative pregnancy test, nothing on ultrasound (to rule out gallbladder issues) and have been taking antacids for the past month with very little relief. Could the test have given a false negative? I cannot think of anything other than H.Pylori that could be causing my discomfort.
Please advise!
