Hello,

I already saw 3 doctors here in Holland, but have the impression they send me home without examine carefully.

I’m beginning 30 and normally don’t have ANY health issues (which I am very grateful for). However, since 2.5 months ago every day I have diarrhoea. Sometimes very watery, sometimes not – but never solid. Sometimes I am an hour late in the office because it just doesn’t stop. Throughout the whole day, severe stomach/intestine/? cramps every now and then. Sometimes I can’t even just walk the small bit between the tram and the office because it just hurts and I need to rest. The pain is always on my left side, never on the right. Sometimes higher, sometimes lower.

The docs tested very few standard things and found Giardia. What changed after 10 days of antibiotics: absolutely nothing. Now they say, hey, just wait another month or two – it will stop eventually naturally.

If that’s so: Great, perfect, that’s a foreseeable timeframe. But maybe I also have something else?! Please have a look at the pictures of this morning… What the heck is that slimey stuff around my …?

It began in South East Asia, where I was very careful about food and water hygiene, but honestly also had some sexual encounters which I am not sure if this may have anything to do with or not.

Thank you.

Daniela

Giardia is a parasite, with which you can be infected very easy and quickly through contaminated water, food and physical contact.
Occasionally it does not work with one treatment to eradicate Giardia. In such cases, a different drug may be attempted or a longer duration may be used, or a higher dosage. Combination therapy can also be effective (e.g., quinacrine together with metronidazole). The symptoms you have, do fit in a giardia infection. I would advise you, to discuss alternative treatment with your doctor

Thank you, Tandor! I will go there again and mention exactly this.
Also the pictures look like Giardia? I am most worried about this slimey stuff around there… Sorry to ask something as intimidating as this.

Hi again,
I went to the doc again and provided them with all the tips and comments from here. But they keep saying I am making myself crazy and its nothing.
Today I had these 2 things in my “toilet product”. They are sized like sesame seeds, but hard as stones. Anyone an idea what this is? The shape is very distinct, but I have no clue what it is.
I had this the last couple of days already I think, but never “fished” it out before today.
Daniela

They are certainly no giardia cysts. They are too big for cysts. Check your food from the last 2 days on nuts and seeds. They look like seeds to me.
You can take them with a stool sample to your GMP for examination.
