Kefir – fermented milk. Very good for your insides which tend to be ravaged by Asian bugs and Western food.
At last some good news – the gut bugs have departed – gone back to northern India or some other godforsaken part of Asia from whence they came. Good riddance. Don’t come back. Pathology test results came back today and they are all clear. So Dr Tony Wettstein’s weird science works. There may be no clinical trials you can look at and no peer reviewed papers. But trust me it works. So vale Blastocystis hominis and Dientamoeba fragilis. You will not be missed and I will be learning to swim with my mouth shut (if I’m allowed to swim again!). Mr GP Dr Adrian Lim, top bloke, thinks I should either give up swimming or swim with a snorkel. He said it would be very grim if I get Dientamoeba fragilis moving in for some more couch surfing. It may not leave next time and take up residecne in the spare room. I’ve turned the corner, though. All upside from here. And I’ve become a devotee of Probiotics. I had to take Probiotic tablets after the antibiotic treatment as the cure strips everything out of your colon, not just the visitors from Asia. I now have kefir every day. It’s good stuff. Hope it also helps bones to heal. Thank you Alison Maunder, the nutritionist on this site. See tab for Nutrition.
What antibiotics worked to kill the parasites? My daughter has been diagnosed with both bugs.
Nicole,
sorry to hear about your daughter. The drugs I was administered were Furazolidone, Nitazoxanide and Secnidazole . Unfortunately these cannot be taken orally as they will make the patient sick. They are administered via colonoscopy infusion, which is performed by a specialist group of doctors here in Sydney who have made a practice of treating drug resistant diseases particularly of the bowel and colon. Fragellis is particularly difficult to get rid of. I had been suffering for about a year and tried various conventional antibiotics but they do not work. Please see the posts on July 19, 2015 and thereabouts. That should give you a good idea of who treated me and what is involved. It is not a particularly pleasant procedure but is not painful and is actually no worse than a colonoscopy. I have been fine ever since and am extremely grateful that I underwent the treatment as I was getting really quite sick. Please contact me if you require any further information but there is quite a bit on the blog. Good luck Kieran Kelly
