Re: Testin for Blastocystis

Did you test positive with the same lab that you have since had 5 negatives with? Sounds like a reliable lab to me. Especially if they are using fixative. Did you do 3 samples over 3 days? There ARE good labs around, contrary to what people say. (I always did samples at the full moon) Unfortunately the lab I used in the UK called Parascope has been closed down. No idea why?

I tested positive for Dientamoeba Fragilis. Took the strong Antibiotics . Tested clear afterwards but continued to have symptoms. That was 4 years ago. I do anti parasitic herbs every 6 months and like you, there is some improvement in symptoms each time which, of course leads me to think I still have parasites. Until the last 2 times when afterwards symptoms have got worse! I doubt I will do them again.

It is really difficult to understand the situation. Like you, I just don't know any more. I am looking around for other solutions now which is why I am using Chinese medicine. It was very effective at the beginning but is trailing off now.

Are your symptoms related to food sensitivities ? Mine are.
