I'll skip the first bit where i tell everyone how miserable my life has been for the past 4 years. (Actually some weeks have been okay and i've been happy SOME times :) )

Long story short, had a stool analysis and it told me why i'm feeling so crap! However after doing some research they pose a problem and i'd love some advice please!

Notable results were i had the parasite blastocystis hominis, i also had no lactobacillus and a additional strain of alpha haemolytic streptococcus. My bacterium and bidffidus levels were okay! I also had a plus 1 level of candida which could indicate a slight yeast overgrowth

My question is this! Do i tackle the gut flora issue by taking probiotics in the form of rice/water kefir and sauekraut, and probiotic supplements (sorry for my spelling these things all have ridiculous names!) and also tackling the candida with anti fungals, OR do i completley avoid probiotics because of them feeding the parasite Blasto - and opt for a treatment of Antibiotics to kill the parasite, then resume with balancing my flora a few months after it's dead?

Or will the Antibiotics mess up my flora even more and make me feel worse?

OR finally should i just do everything at once and still be taking probiotics whilst on anti parisitical Antibiotics in the hope that the probiotics are not feeding the parasites thus rendering my actions pointless?

I know this is alot of questions but would love it if an expert on the subject could shed some light! After 4 years of hell i've finally got a diagnosis and need a clear direction to move in to stop me from going insane and wanting to end it all again :/
