Blastocystis Hominis

[Colleen]

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.

When Was The First Feeding tube Implanted In a Patient , By Who And Where

Ice cream and Instant breakfast for a patient with Blastocystis?
That is a good indication why the kid is sick in the first place.  Its time to consult with a Naturopathic Physician and actually follow the advice.
