diagnosed with Blastocystis

Can some help? I was just diagnosed with Blasocystis, after I had stomach pain and diariah, I think I got by eating not fully cooked shrimp. I heard this is very hard get rid of; five days after I ate the shrimp, I was very ill; I thought it was from some other blood contac; I am worried and sick about it; my Dr. put me on Antibiotics Metronidazole. I heard that this does not get rid of Blasto; after I started taking the antibiotics, I am ok; even though I am now more bloated than before; I have kind of diariah, at least twice a day. IS it going to get worse? Can you please give any advise.

thanks

I had Blasto, did the triple therapy protocol, tested clear and still felt awful.

Turns out the cause of all my issues is actually a genetic disease called Pyroluria. Do some searches on Pyroluria and see if it matches your symptoms.

I blog about Pyroluria now too.

Also, just to clarify, I had terrible body achs and joint pain, and fatigue, after five days of getting this.
