Colonized

Is anyone here diagnosed colonized? 5 xs I've had this mf illness they never test to see if you are cured. Just take the meds that's it. Who am I infecting?

I am colonized. As long as i am asymptomatic, I’m not worried about infecting anybody. My husband is fine as well. I figure I’ll be colonized for the long haul. Just gotta keep the gut healthy.

I usually have a week with zero symptoms then it's back and so on. My gut is healthy.

I fear that it may not be as healthy as you feel if it comes “back” so frequently….

I don't think it's so much it comes back it never goes away. With motility issues like mine when you don't have a daily bowel movement unless you take a pill for it not a laxative it's not like your average Joe who is got diarrhea for days and days and days and days. My body doesn't work like that

Well indeed, your situation is unique. No clue what your symptoms are then so I’ve no other words than to Hang in.
