Hi Justine, I’ve still been battling this parasite and just wanted to let you know what I’ve been trying as it might be helpful information for your family. I am no doctor, so please do all your own research etc. I have been taking Diatomaceous Earth for the last two weeks and feel so much better, I’m not having symptoms like I was and truly feel like this might be the answer. Do some research and see what you think. I’m going to continue with this for now and hopefully it will help me kick this thing once and for all. Cheers, Mel.

I’m in the same boat as you! Except my children young kids got it too but thankfully my baby hasn’t! We are on Paramomycin getting rid of it (our second lot- first lot one years ago which got rid of it for all of us except my 5yo, she passed it back to us one year later.) despite getting rid of it my systems never really improved although I was feeling a lot better. I lost s lot of weight but I constantly look 6 months pregnant! After catching it again a couple months ago we are on the road to getting rid of it again and then will have a longer road of gut recovery afterwards. It has given me anxiety and depression. I have been so paranoid about my baby getting it but thankfully she hasn’t! I hope you can make a full recovery soon! I think I am going to spend the money to get a food intolerance test done so as to eliminate just what I know I shouldn’t be eating because I just can’t figure it out otherwise. It’s so tough!

I have eventually been able to get rid of it, after two rounds of antibiotics. Yes the side effects of the second round were actually worse than the symptoms. I understand how you might have just thought it was part of being a mum etc. I was writing all mine off too… run down and fatigued from being a mum to 3 and on top of that my kids would bring tummy bugs home from school and kindy, I just kept thinking it was another tummy bug!!! I’m over a year now from being cleared of the parasite, but am still on a very strict diet. I still get stomach problems, even when I stick to the Fodmap diet. Getting my body regular and back to “normal” seems to be a very long road! I really hope that you can get through this!!!

Your post came up whilst googling dientamobea and pregnancy – I have just been diagnosed with dientamobea but do not have the severe diahrroea. I’ve had issues with not absorbing iron, dizziness fatigue and nausea and it is possible i have had it a long time – jut kept writing off the fatigue to being a mum! Just wondering if you have definitely cleared the dientamobea? It sounds pretty evil to get rid of! And then the antibiotics sound just as evil havoc on the gut!

Well Done Melissa, keep going Sweetheart you will get there! I always tell myself if you can help at least one other person due to something in your life you feel better about your situation, in turn help someone else suffering the same thing. Love Mum ❤Xo
