When my very young daughter got giardia her doctor wanted to avoid Flagyl and
prescribed another drug (I believe it started with an M) that killed the
giardia.  Also, I researched about not treating and found out that it is next
to impossible to get rid of totally without treatment because they live so
high up in the gut.  It often can appear cleared up only to resurface after
awhile.
