Blastocystiosis

Blastocystiosis first described by Alexeieff in 1911. Some medical doctors think this is a infection diseases that can cause problems and they will treat it others will not treat it.

This basically according to the book Zoonose, edited by Palmer, Soulsby and Simpson

"Treatment
Treatment of B. hominis infections in humans is controversial. Many physicians express concern about the risk of unnecessary treatment with potential dangerous drugs and the failure of physicans to investigate the true cause of symptoms......However, others believe that if debilitating symptoms are present, and no other cause is obvious treatment of B. hominis infection should be investigated....

Dietary management also has been suggested, and found to be effective in two studies (Swellengrebel 1917, Kain et al. 1987)."


I am wondering what type of diet this is?
