Hi there! I just read your post. I was wondering if you are already feeling ok? I was diagnosed with giardia and it took mos to find out through endoscopy. I was in a lot of pain. I have taken flagyl for a week. Its been a month already since my treatment, I still have constant stomach cramps but it wasn’t as bad as before. I just wanted to know if yout going through the same thing I’m going through. Thanks


10+ bowl movements a day. Antibiotics started to help diarrhea from assumed Giardia but then day 5 got worse

did i relapse on Giardia, is this C-Diff, or something else?

dr gave me 250mg, 3x day, for 7 days of Flagyl / metronidazole to treat Giardia.

symptoms were getting better but returned on day 5. Now I'm sitting on the toilet 10+ times a day. Before it was less than 6 times a day. any input greatly appreciated.

exposed to giardia while backpacking
diarrhea for 5 weeks
