Dr. Amy Nett: I would say one other thing I would think about Justine is that it’s possible that you did more recently acquire it. It’s also possible that it was missed on the prior testing, so I don’t know if you did it on, it says Doctor’s Data stool test, but remember testing is not perfect. So it is possible you just had less of the Entamoeba hartmanni.

- Do you know anything about Entamoeba hartmanni? Googling it she understands that it’s not pathogenic. No treatments required. I did a stool test a couple years ago and it didn’t register but did come up on the most recent test so it’s a new addition. I might have gotten it on a recent trip to Nepal. Sounds great, or from sleeping overnight with my sister’s dog for the last month. It came up as Entamoeba hartmanni cysts and Entamoeba hartmanni trophs in all three Doctor’s Data stool samples, mostly as “many” on all three of the BioHealth #401 as well. Plus it said on the BioHealth Trichrome stain rare trophocyte forms of Entamoeba hartmanni detected. So my question is treat or not treat?
