Hi, I also have blastocystis hominis. My old GI said it didn't warrant treatment, since lots of people carry this bug and it's not clear whether it causes symptom. However, my naturopath wants to get rid of it, since it can be the cause of IBS-like symptoms, so you may as well eliminate all possible causes, right?
However this parasite is very hard to get rid of. My ND says the only thing that works is Artestatin - which is also a lot easier on your body than Flagyl. So that's what I'm taking - 1 pill at bedtime for a week, then 3, then 6 which I'm still doing. No clue if it's working, but just thought I'd pass it on!

IBS-C, lots of spasm and trapped gas.
