Leah--Did the Flagyl help? I was on a combo of Flagyl and Cipro, and I was better than worse again. So my new doc gave me Humatin, which is an antibiotic specifically used for intestinal infections--but it doesn't say in the PDR that it's for the one I've got, so most docs don't prescribe it (they go by the book, of course). But my doc says it is much more effective and has few side effects. Anyway, did you actually get rid of the parasite(s)?

I can see how you might have developed IBS from such an ordeal. I just finished my antibiotics, and there's a chance I've gotten over the bug, and I do feel better--but still with lots of IBS symptoms that are worse than what I had before. I think this kind of infection is really hard on your system--much worse than traditional doctors seem to understand.

Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. I'm trying to stick to the diet and do everything I can to feel better! And it also helps to know I'm not the only one who's gone through this!
