My SO had a similar experience -- she had a bad flu a couple years ago and ever since has had a really rough time with certain foods. She's had tests for H. Pylori and all the other usual suspects (all negative). She's tried going gluten-free and FODMAP diet and hasn't been able to identify any consistent pattern.

A friend in similar circumstances had a lot of improvement from a poop transplant, might be worth a try.

I recommend trying cabbage juice, my fathers credits it as nearly curing his ulcers (unfortunately I don't know if his are caused by H. Pylori).

I wish her a lot of luck. It took me years to get things bearable. And there's a long way to go.

There's others, but garlic and onion are two of my triggers, and it's amazing how much food uses one or both.

I've also found that there's a sort of buildup effect with me. If I have certain foods two days in a row, or more than x times a week it can cause issues.

All that means it's quite hard to pin it down.

I stopped eating dairy for a few days and had a glass of milk with a severe reaction, used to drink a glass a night. Wonder if it is because all the bacteria that would process that lowered?

Perhaps a naive question but have you tried a good probiotic to rebuild your gut bacteria?

Probiotics take over your gut flora, probably best to talk to a good nutritionist or health practitioner to come up with a plan

Maybe try meat-only? Some people seem to have benefited from that.
