And YES to the mirtazapine...I would not stop it even if she is eating. Not until she is back to eating normally.

H. pylori can be diagnosed using a fecal, blood, breath, or urine sample, at least in humans, so it's possible that Bells was diagnosed in that manner without doing an endoscopy. See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17382278. Hopefully, Bells will improve on her current medication and the liver biopsy won't be necessary, but you have to do what you have to do.
