Are there any alternative medications for eliminating H. pylori?
No. Alternative medicines are an alternative for patients who are unable to be treated by conventional medicine (in my opinion). Thus, the treatment for H. pylori is known, so alternative medicines are unnecessary. The large multinational drug companies, who spend millions of dollars per year studying these compounds, have investigated most of the alternative medications for therapeutic effect. If any alternative medications are found to be effective for H. pylori they will be rapidly brought to the marketplace and provided as prescription drugs. Since none of them have been marketed in this way so far, we can presume that none of them have been found to be effective for H. pylori. No doubt many things we eat can effect H. pylori by causing its numbers to increase or decrease, but so far no natural foods or medications have been found to actually cure the infection. Without total cure of the infection, the problem never resolves.
