BC and Blasticystis Hominis
Hi Everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone has had experience with a stomach parasite know as Blasticystis Hominis. I contracted this parasite from rain water some years ago and have had recurring problems. Everything else seems to have been annihilated by chemo except this, which has flared up again only a few weeks after my chemo finished.
Thanks.

- CsigaMemberHi Lovely Ladies,
I need to be on antibiotics for 5 days. I haven’t used this one yet, it called resprim forte.Each tablet contains trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole.After taking 2 tablets my tummy already settled a bit. Hopefully this time we can get rid of the bugs.Sign in to react to this post - Doin_itMember@Csiga good luck at your GP today. Keep in touch & let us know how you get on xSign in to react to this post

- CsigaMemberThanks JenniA! I don’t really need these bugs having a ball in my tummy at the moment. I moved here from Hungary and never had rainwater before. A nurse said once that my gut flora is probably very different from people who grew up here so my body is not used to these bugs and can’t get rid of them.Sign in to react to this post
- Doin_itMember@Csiga I haven’t heard of it either & I was brought up on tank water with no filter. Hope you can get rid of it. Sounds horrid & the last thing you need!!! Good luck at GP tomozSign in to react to this post
- CsigaMemberHi Finch, yes I got it from tankwater. We visited someone few years ago who didn’t have a proper filter on their tank. I have tried so many types of antibiotics already. I thought chemo would get rid of it.
I am going to see my GP tomorrow.Sign in to react to this post - FinchMemberI've never heard of it Csiga , did you get it from tank water.? Hope you get it sorted soon. Take care xxxSign in to react to this post
