Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
E. Histolytica infection of the gut usually needs treatment with metronidazole 750-800 mg three times daily for 5-10 days, or tinidazole 2 g daily for 3 days. If your stool sample is still showing persistent anaerobes, then other drugs for resistant infection are needed like- paromomycin or diloxanide furoate.
You can get these drugs prescribed from your treating physician.
Stomach cramps are a common side effect of metronidazole and these subside once the treatment is over.
Hope this answers your query.I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

IBS(irritable bowel syndrome) is a chronic disorder which has got no permanent treatment.
Only dietary modifications can help in long term remission.
Any food that is high in fat, insoluble fiber, caffeine, carbonation, or alcohol.
Drinks with caffeine, such as coffee, tea or soda,Milk products,Chocolate,Wheat, rye or barley can increase it.
You need to take symptomatic treatment from time to time including anti spasmodics and antacids.
Reduce the level of anxiety with good anti anxiety agents.
Hope my answer is helpful. Write back if you have further queries.
