Thanks Sarah for your comment. It’s a year on and I’ve had many issues fighting this. But I think I’ve finally found something to help. The the antibiotics really did was ruin my gut health and cause problems and I don’t believe they every truly got rid of the parasite. I had changed my diet but was still feeling sick, also added in a probiotic and still not improving. I believe that Diatomaceous Earth is helping me now, more than anything else had. I really feel that it is the answer to this. Thanks again for your advice. Cheers Mel.

I know you posted this a while ago but thought I would reply just in case. I don’t believe the parasite was eradicated for me by the antibiotics, over the last two weeks I’ve been trying DE (Diatomaceous Earth) to see if it will help. I really believe that it is helping me. I’ve been feeling much better and symptom free. I’m taking this once a day and also having my probiotic (ultrabiotic 500) at night and feel so much better. I am also still eating as per the FODMAP diet. Having been affected by this parasite for a few years now I totally understand your need to get rid of it. It’s a horrible thing to deal with. Perhaps research Diatomaceous Earth and its effects on D.Flagyl. I also feel like a lot of damage was done by taking the antibiotics which will take time to heal and get back to normal, hence why I’m remaining on the diet as well. I hope you find an answer! Mel.

I am currently battling this parasite as well for almost a year! I have done two rounds of Flagyl, but still test positive for the parasite and still have symptoms…I am down to 105 pounds. I am waiting to see an Infectious Diseases Specialist at the hospital to find out next steps…just wondering if you know the name of the medication that finally eradicated the parasite for you? I have changed my diet drastically and that definitely helps, but I’d like to kick this parasite for good!!

Thank you for this informative post, I have a 4 month old and he has got this!!! He has been diarhoea for two weeks non stop. I don’t know what to do as the doocyots have said to wait it out and continue to breastfeed. I’m not sure if he got it from me as I was violently ill the same time he had started having diarhoea

Also for the aftermath you are suffering, from the antibiotics. This may take time to heal but stay away from grains, sugar, dairy and alcohol. Best to eat cooked food for a while to take the load off your digestive system

Pre and probiotics will help repopulate your gut.

I’ve beat this one. Best protocol is:
Doxy and paromamycin for 10 days
Cut out sugar, alcohol, grains and dairy for the 10 days
Take probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii and something like intestimine to heal your tummy

Good luck.

That could be very tricky! I know the antibiotics that I had to take in the long run to remove the parasite from my system would not be something you could take while pregnant. Heck I don’t even think I should have been breastfeeding! She may have no other choice than to look at natural methods. So sorry to hear that she is dealing with this.

My daughter is pregnant and just found out she has this parasite. I’m trying to find info for her on the dangers of it while pregnant.
