I am preg. and have amoebas-parasites.Are these danger while preg.-elecampane root, ginger root?i hear no meds I am 16 weeks pregnant.  Most people/drs have told me that i can't take the medicine for them (Flagyl).  One dr. told me I could take the medicine in the second trimester.  Effects of the amoebas are stomach cramps, diarrhea AND constipation, fatigue.  It is a Class "B" medicine which means basically...they are not sure whether it is completly safe or not.  So I am trying a herbal tea.  These are all the herbs in the tea. elecampane root, ginger rhizome, rosemary, Thyme, Chamomile.  Are any of these UNSAFE while pregnant?  I am living in South America right now so I do not have many resources or good drs here to tell me things I need to know.  I have not been able to find anything on the internet so far either.  Thanks for any input!
