parasites not candida

Hi Shelley

I had a comprehensive stool analysis done, and it came up that I had parasites not candida. My doctor is very good with gut problems and normally only uses herbs. But with me she said the blastocystis and dientamoeba were very high and has put me on very strong Antibiotics for 1 week before starting on herbs. I feel sick about taking the Antibiotics and they have made me feel very nausous. She said to take lots of probiotics throughout the course and stick on my strict anti candida diet. My question is can the comprehensive stool test miss candida. I rang the lab and they said they tried to cultivate yeast samples for 7 days and none showed so it was very unlikely that I had candida. Anyway I have started the course now so need to stick with it. I had lots of good friendly bacteria in my gut, except for E coli for that she has prescribed mutaflor from germany.

My fog has returned with avengence could this be the parasites. Sorry for the long post but I feel very confused that I was going along with the anti-candida and now have to think about parasites, although ultimately treating everything is the same ie cleansing good diet and rebuilding.

Cheers a confused Caper
