Post Treatment Questions

So a few weeks ago, I had a confirmed diagnosis of an active HP infection.
Hello everyone
I started the standard 14-day triple therapy, 20 mg Omeprazole, 500 mg Clarithromycin, and 1 g Amoxicillin, twice a day. During the treatment, I was also using probiotics and other natural gut flora enhancers (Kefir, yogurt, etc.)
By day 3 I was feeling pretty good. At about day 5, I started having occasional bouts of nausea, and the gas/bloating, but not nearly as bad as before, nor as often. I did miss dose timing by about 5 hours on day 12 of the course, but I corrected it by spreading the time lag over the remaining doses.
My last dose was Tuesday, August 3. This last weekend, I had recurrences of the gas/bloating and nausea, but again, not as severe, and not as often. I'm still taking the PPI twice a day, and I'm still on probiotics.
My question is this: How long can I expect until full recovery? Am I doing anything wrong? Should I cut out the PPI now?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
