Parasites Question?

[holdthegluten]

Has anyone on here been diagnosed with a parasite(s) and if so did you feel better once the parasite was gone. Also what kind of parasite or worm was found. I am having a test done by Biohealth (full GI pathogen panel) and would like to know if a parasite can really be what is hindering me from getting well. Thanks

I was diagnosed by stool test with having klebsiella and citrobacter overgrowth. Both are bacteria. I also had none of many of the good bacterias.

I tried many things to get rid of it, including Cipro and herbs. Finally, I took a product called humaworm (www.humaworm.com) and it ends up I had a large tapeworm that had never shown up in testing.

I felt immensely better after having gotten rid of the parasites, but it's hard to say how much of it was the parasites and how much of it was the Lyme Disease treatment.

Ever since then ALL my GI trouble is gone.

I'd love to hear more about people's experience with this, but I too have been diagnosed with parasites, bacteria, viruses and a tapeworm. I believe that I've gotten rid of the Babesia, but I'm not sure what's lingering. After the Babesia was gone (or after we speculated it was gone), I think I was able to gain a little weight (though now I'm having some trouble doing that again). I'm not sure if that can be attributed to going gluten free or not though. Anyone else have any experiences like this? This is a good question!

Before I was diagnosed two years ago the doctors here thought for sure it was a parasite, especially since I travel a lot in the tropics and jungles in SE Asia and ate a lot of of strange stuff. All sorts of tests and samples and nothing was found. Finally they came up with celiac after 6 months, went 100% gluten free and no more problems since. Sometimes I think lingering effects are from hidden gluten we still get by accident.

I tested positive for a parasite in stool testing. My Dr doesn't want to treat it yet because I am treating a lot of other things first. He suggested Alinia or Humaworm.
