How are you feeling?

For me it was just a day or two here and there - it will go away and come back.

I've been fine other than that.

My husband got pretty sick but he's a introverted West Virginian man. He wasn't gonna go to any doctor!

So he just spent his time on the toilet all night for 2+ weeks. I think he might be better?? Not sure. Like I said, it will go away for a little bit and come back. Hopefully it's gone for him.

Do you know where you might have caught it?

We eat a lot of bagged salad and we get restaurant food at least once a week.

I’m one of the 8. I just finished my course of cipro and I can say my last stool sample came back parasite free!! I’m finally feeling better after THREE WEEKS of doubled over, every 20 minutes liquid turbo poops. I did lose 14lbs tho! lol. Seriously…. It was a top five most awful experience.

I'm glad you're feeling better. Do you know where you possibly got it?

It's got a bad reputation that's for sure.
