Stomach pain

I have been having pain on the upper left hand side under my rib cage for some time now. The pain is starting to get worse so I went to the ER last night and they said nothing was wrong with my gall bladder and that I tested positive for H. Pylori. Has anyone had this problem? Will it go away? What can I do to get relief from the pain? They prescribe a protonix for the acid in my stomach is this common?

I have been recently diagnosed with H.Pylori and I am currently being referred to a specialist for a scope of my stomach.  This bacteria I was told has been linked to stomach ulcers and gastric cancer and should be treated.  I have been told that this is treated with a round of multiple antibiotics, however can sometimes make the symptoms worse.  If you have tested positive for H.Pylori you need to get into a doctor for treatment A.S.A.P.  as this can be passed to others in your household thru kissing and fecal matter.  I have also been prescribed and antiacid medication.
