Dientamoeba Fragilis ...
We’ve been seeing a rise in Dientamoeba fragilis through the clinic lately. This is a common but often overlooked parasite that can cause ongoing digestive and systemic issues if left unaddressed.
The symptoms associated with this infection can include any or all of the following:
Bloating Loose stools or constipation Abdominal pain or cramping Fatigue Brain fog Skin issues (eczema, rashes) Mood changes (irritability, anxiety)
Because the symptoms tend to mimic other digestive imbalances, it’s easy to miss ~ which is why proper testing is key.
We recommend requesting a PCR stool test from your doctor, which tends to be the most accessible and accurate form of test.
They may recommend antibiotics as treatment, and we want to reassure you not to be frightened to take these if needed. In many cases, a short course can be very effective. From our perspective, the aftermath of antibiotic use is often far easier to restore than the ongoing effects of a parasite left untreated.
At the clinic, we support patients with a tailored parasite protocol including:
Colon hydrotherapy to support the clearing of parasites, biofilm, and waste Targeted antimicrobial herbal support Nervous system support post clearance Nutrition guidance to reduce the parasite’s energy sources
Every case is different and our approach is always gentle, whole-body, and mindful of each patient’s unique constitution and symptoms.
Come ~ we are here to help you cleanse, restore and thrive.
