Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...i am approximately 8 weeks pregnant and have been under the guidance of a nutritionist for the past few months because of tummy troubles,mainly consisting of bloating,gas,nausea and growling noises. I have had just had the results of stool test that showed that i have moderate levels of the parasite blastocystis hominis as well as a low level of candida albicans. My nutritionist has told me i will not be able to be treated for either problem until i have my baby and have finished breast feeding. i hate the thought of continued tummy troubles,but,even more than this,i hate the thought of these things living in my body for more than a year. i want them out now. i also am worried that the baby could be affected although i am told it wont be. is there any danger to me or my baby by having this diagnosis and is there no possible and successful treatment whilst i am pregnant? please help as i am very anxious.
i am 41 years old,5.6' tall and about 11 stone 4 pounds. i am also very healthy otherwise.
