Blastocystis Hominis
I have a 6 year old boy who for the past two months has had sometimes visable blood in the stool foul smelling stool and gas, loss of appitite some vomiting and weight loss he has a ced rate of 22 he also has a past history of polyps which were removed with a colonoscpy one was 4.by 2.5 (large) less than a year ago . After many blood and stool tests they have come up with Blastocystis Hominis and are treating him with flagyl which is making him sick and after being on this for three days the symptoms have seemed to worsen( thru the entire sickness he has had occult blood in the stool) this 6 year old now weighs 48lbs and has dark circles under his eyes and his lower eye lid is red rimmed he also is very pale and feels exxxtremley weak after small bowel movements in which the stool is formed but upon touching ( for stool samples) falls apart. The stool is sometimes black and pudding like and smells terribly ---- Now doctors have taken him off the flagyl and want to wait a week then test the stool again to see if blood still exists ( only one lab came back with b hominis and it was sent to several) if it does they would like to do another colonoscpy . But doctor tells me very unlikly anything becase he had a full colonoscpy less than a year ago . PLEASE help i am watching this little boy get sicker and sicker he has gained a pound and a half because of ice cream and instant breakfast so he will eat but I am scared I also have 3 other children who present no symptoms HELP.
The B. Homminis was wrong it only showed up in one test he has Juvenille polyps that grow back 1 month after being removed in the past year he has had 6 colonoscpys and is scheduled for another on on 11/21 to check for polyps again and is having occult bleeding and is also anemic any one with anwsers?

This is a long time since Collen's last comment, so I hope things have improved. However, if her boy has been flooded with antibiotics, she may consider having him tested for Candida Albicans/yeast overgrowth. This would certainly make his condition worse, creating a very unfriendly environment in his gut(intestines). If he is weak already, the yeast is opportunistic and may proliferate. In which case feeding your boy ice-cream and anything dairy or sugary is not advised. (Dairy provides good breeding ground for stomach bugs). Natural, live yoghurt is the exception to dairy.
His gut needs to be healed and strengthened, and seeing a good naturopath or complimentary practitioner is essential. Diet will play a big part in his recovery, don't try to do it yourself though.
Don't be fooled into thinking yeast overgrowth is harmless, it plays havoc with peoples bodies. Anyway, do test for it, and if he's clear all the better. Good luck.
P.S. Bugs and yeast in the gut are great partners in crime.

My daughter, Carrington, 19, Sophmore in College, just diagnosed with B. Hominis. She was so sick, totally dehydrated within 2 hours after severly vomiting and diarrhea, on an I.V. for 3 days in Hospital. Got out of Hospital yesterday, and is home for R&R before returning to college on Monday. I am trying to do research on B. Hominis. She has alergies, allergic to soy, mold count high, trees and grasses.Always complaining that she feels as if she is going to be sick, but not! She is taking the Metronidazole for 9 days. Please help! I want to know as much as possible..what works.......what does not work.
Thanks

If you are still looking for some kind of a response: Flagyl is a drug often over-looked in terms of the side-effects. I am not sure what dosage your son was given, but it can cause serious harm. Exploration of any lingering side effects would be prudent. Also flaygl causes serious yeast overgrowth, an organism that lives in conjunction with blastocystis. I would strongly recommend an herbal cleanse or even better a colonic with a licensed professional.
I have been diagnosed with bh and giardia at the same time. This is the second time I've had giardia in 5 months. The dr.
prescribed 750 mg of Flagyl 3 times a day for 7 days. I am breastfeeding a 6 month old and the maximum safe dosage is 500 mg
3 times a day. I am 34 years old and have had 4 babies in 7
years. My immune system is weak and made me susceptible to parasites...i do not want to wean my daughter. My question is
Is there something safe and effective to rid the body of parasites while breastfeeding or is it difficult enough to rid
the body of them even when not breastfeeding? Is Flagyl effective even at maximum amounts? My thanks and God's blessings to anyone who might help!
