Question

i went for a test n was told i had amoeba ive lost appetite n ive started having a back problem(the upper part) is it normal to loose appetite even when im through with the medicine coz i still feel so weak n dont want to drink fresh water apart from soda or juice

Answer 1

A few medicines can cure amoebiasis very fast. What made you weak is the loss of salt and other electrolytes from your body from pooping too much while you had the amoeba.

You will feel better when the salts readjust to normal. Eat some bananas and oranges, Those fruits are rich in potassium.

Answer 2

So where did you get the aimoeba? Have you been on a trip to
a 3rd world country? Just wondering as my sister lived in
the Dominican Republic for 8 years and that's one of the
things she got sick with there. You need to be careful and
make sure you take all the meds and tell your doctor if
you still feel bad, as the amoebas can do a lot of damage
to your liver (hence the lower back pain) the trouble is
that the meds to get rid of them also do damage, cause you
are taking a substance to poison the amoebas. But you can
get rid of them if you carefully take all the meds and follow the
doctor's intructions. You will fell better and your liver can
recover if you get to it in itme.

Answer 3

It is normal to loose appetite, but you should not stop medication until you have gone back for a re-check up. Your stool should be negative first of amoeba. Consult your doctor before you stop your medications.

Answer 4

don't be worried
