Did you both get positive tests for it?
I know it doesn't test well.

I was told I had it, I can't remember which med addressed it

It was either Albenza, Alinia, or Ivermectin

Yes, I had a positive test. I have tried Flagyl twice, Alinia and Tinidazole. I just cant get it to go away.

I had it last year also and took 7 days of flagyl and that cleared it up. Then got it again and can't get rid of it..ugh!!

Giardia is a parasite and is treated as such.
Read some of the Klinghardt publications - parasite treatment is a must if you suspect Lyme. They should be treated early, not as an afterthought. Babesia is a parasite/protozoa and everything else is easier to eliminate once the parasites tiny, medium or large have been dealt with. If not, all the strange symptoms will not go away.

Even if the word sounds nasty and "third-worldly", most of us carry them around, some more than others, some tiny or huge. Dr. K. said to me years ago "if you have eaten in a restaurant", you have some. Well, what don't we touch when we go outside of our own clean house, even if we have washed our lettuce thoroughly or not been kissed by out dog or cat? If you treat, all family members and pets have to be treated. That is a must.

I have posted and offered the protocol many times. Maybe you want to read some of the threads talking about these visitors.

Take care.

This is very dangerous. My sister died from it when she was only 54. Got it from drinking water in a resturant.

I have dealt with stomach problems, off and on, for a couple of years.

I was never tested for giardia until last week. A holistic clinic tested me through some sort of silver plates...don't know the name. She got everything else correct, so I assume this diagnosis is also correct. LLMD never tested me for giardia.

I am very sorry for your loss, sick.

Unfortunately it is one of the most common parasites around but can be difficult to get rid of sometimes.

I got mine from a restaurant the first time and from rafting in a river the second time.

Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.
