Been self-treating B. Hominis infection with S. Boulardii. Blastocystis can negatively affect intestinal permeability, so I'd prefer to treat than not. Had some symptoms but wasn't sure of their source, which resolved with S. Boulardii... Who knows?🤷‍♂️

Saccharomyces Boulardii , a natural yeast considered a #probiotic works just as well as #metronidazole to treat Blastocystis Hominis https://t.co/0e4E22PoJ6 I beginning to wonder if there are any chronic diseases not helped by treating the #microbiome
