As much as I hate antibiotics, I wonder if it would be worth it to try the one for this. It would be interesting since my kids and I never have normal stool. TMI sorry, but always yellow and diarrhea off and on during the week. Wonder if it could be a parasite.
Also interesting that they live in the duodenum and that is where copper is absorbed and we are all low or deficient. I can't imagine why strong healthy people couldn't kick giardia though, and that it would lead to the neuromuscular rash we get and neuropathic symptoms. Makes me think its something more sinister.
I don't know... just rambling as I think about what is going on here.
