Obtained meds for blasto, advice?

Hi everyone!

My story is very long. Suffice it to say, I have been dealing with life threatening inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) for two years, and I have finally honed in on the most likely cause: b. hominis, e. histolytica, and a few other dysbiotic bacteria in high numbers. I have them chronically, with acute phases. The underlying IBD is probably a life-long thing, but it has likely been brought on by having these microbes in my gut for 5+ years.

I need advice because I'm undergoing a triple Antibiotic therapy within the next couple of weeks. The Antibiotics that I have chosen, with my doctor's help, are:

Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim
Tinidazole
Paromomycin

Before anyone lectures me on natural protocols - been there, done that. They don't work in my case, and my bowel is too fried to do harsh stuff long term. I need to hit this hard and fast, and I feel good about what I'm about to try.

My questions (which my doctor doesn't have enough knowledge about):

1) Which foods should I avoid or include during these medications? I make lots of home made ferments like kefir and sauerkraut so probiotics aren't a problem. It has also been suggested to me to acquire the probiotic s. bouldarii and take it during this time.

Some people recommend doing probiotics after the treatment, and not during. I'm not sure what to think about that. To me, you want to keep replenishing good flora so that the bad bugs don't have free reign, especially when they're dying and start getting desperate.

I know to avoid sugar. One post on CZ recommends eating just meat and veggies for the duration, to deprive the microbes of anything that could help them survive. Problem is, I can't digest most veggies right now, especially raw ones, and I don't have anymore body weight to sacrifice. Advice would be appreciated! I intend to be home bound for those 7-10 days and I don't want to starve!

2) What is the order of operations for these meds? My doctor can't advise on this, but she thinks taking them all at once would be the best bet so that the bugs can't adapt. I've also read lots on other people's protocols. Tinidazole is a systemic amebicide, sulf-trim is a systemic Antibiotic (has some potential effect on b. hominis though), and paromomycin in a luminal (intestinal) amebicide only.

Some people would do tinidazole and sulf-trim together first, then do paromomycin later. I haven't seen many suggesting doing them all at once. Maybe that would be too harsh?

Advice would be appreciated, preferably from people who have direct experience with these meds. I am prepared for the severity, I just need some basic advice.

Thank you! Tweet
