Guest guest Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 i have been suffering from gut dysbiosis for decades. i was constantly sick with headaches and sinus problems. i had taken over 80 rounds of antibiotics in those three decades chasing after what i thought were sinus infections. I had a ct/ivp for kidney stones in 2006. after that i completely changed my life and my diet. at the time, my ct scan (with contrast) showed no sign of gallbladder disease nor any stones. i also had a parasite called blastocystis hominis that has been in my gut since traveling to costa rica in the mid 1990's. i had stool analysis done in 2000 and 2002 which both showed moderate blastocystis. i had the stool studies repeated in 2004 and 2005 which showed no blastocystis whatsoever (i can only imagine it must have been living dormant or symbiotically in my gut). there was some bad bacteria also, but not overwhelming and i had high levels of good bacteria. i also had a pretty good case of candida i imagine. i began taking mms over a year ago at different dosages at different times. at first i had felt better than i had felt in over 30 years. then at higher levels, i always had trouble and backed off to more moderate levels, but stayed on it for the full year. i recently tried the new protocol of three drops every hour for eight hours for three weeks. when i finished that and cut way back to a maintenance dose, i fell terribly ill. i had indigestion, a raw gnawing feeling in my stomach at times and a pain in my back on the left side that would come and go all day. i was also being awakened every night between 4-5 am with terrible a terrible gnawing raw stomach that kept me awake the rest of the night. i finally went to see a physician, did a new stool analysis, ultrasaound,and a subsequent mri. here were the results. stool analysis: all of my healthy bacteria were gone. i was overwhelmed with bad bacteria and the blastocystis now showed many, running rampant. the result of my ultrasound and mri: i now have two large gallstones, one measuring 3 cm and one measuring 2.8 cm. (that's over an inch in diameter each). so you tell me!!! any comments or experience would be appreciated. the only other wild card in this scenario was that i was taking a soil based probiotic, garden of life primal defense ulta. i am not claiming anything. only sharing my experience. i had to go on a drug, iodoquinol to try and get rid of the blastocystis and am now facing the removal of my gallbladder. pretty disappointed.
