[…] GPs generally don’t know much about it and may prescribe antibiotics which don’t work, whilst negatively impacting the gut microbiome even further. […] It’s crucial to investigate all other potential gut issues. […] My approach is to zoom out and consider all underlying/contributing factors that are related to ongoing digestive issues, and address these in a systematic way. […] I do not consider Blastocystis a pathogenic organism. Therefore, when addressing digestive symptoms, my focus is not typically on eradicating Blastocystis. Instead, symptoms are often the result of a combination of factors.
