I've tried a 5 day course of bactrim and also a 2mg dose o tinidazole to no avail. im still experiencing up to 7 watery stools per day. This had been going on for a month now. I also have crohns disease but had a colonoscopy and endoscopy a week ago and they said everything was fine in regards to my crohns. I have a feeling if I'm prescribed metronidazole it still won't be effective. If it's not blasto causing my diarrhoea, what could it possibly be?

I've recently been diagnosed with a...Hi there,<br /><br />I've recently been diagnosed with a Blastocytis infection through doing a Comprehensive Stool Test with Parasitology (Genova Diagnostics Lab). I've been suffering from a lot of digestive issues (severe bloating and flatulence, abdominal pain, re-occurring diarrhea and/or frequent loose stools (sometimes up to 6-7 times a day), etc.). I've also been suffering with at times extreme fatigue, body pain and mental fog and when it all started 3 continuous weeks of severe tremors!! I've had these symptoms for over two years and the Dr's couldn't do anything for me (after ordering lots of tests which all came back negative!!). So I finally did the stool test which found some bacterial overgrowth along with lots of parsites (Blastocytis). I'm now taking an herbal formula (Berberine, black walnut, wormwood, etc.) in addition to garlic pills and aregano oil. I've been taking these for almost three weeks now and I'm experiencing a lot of improvement in all my symptoms (no more bloating, brain fog, weakness, etc). I must say after one week of taking these medications I had a couple of days that felt worse than ever (so weak to even move or talk, extreme body pain, extreme bloating, etc) and then after those two days I've been better than I've ever been in two years! So, I was wondering if you know and/or have some references about treating parasites with these herbs and their efficacy and/or potential side effects, and if you know about the die-off reaction (which I think is what I experiences after a week of medication).<br /><br />Thanks,<br />-MojdehMojihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01344833421940427916noreply@blogger.com
