Parasites

So I saw my surgeon yesterday hoping to get a date for an endoscopy.

He thinks that we should screen for parasites through stool testing first, before we start talking scopes.

Did anyone else get tested for parasites too?

I read in an article on the web that parasites can be caused by food allergies - so can having a gluten allergy/intolerance cause parasites?

Just curious... :)

I had a tapeworm and roundworms .... they did NOT show up in testing! :o Stool testing does not show all parasites, but it is a valuable things to do.

I found the tapeworm/roundworms when I started taking Humaworm (www.humaworm.com) for the bacterial overgrowth that was discovered in the parasite testing.

I felt SIGNIFICANTLY better when I got rid of the parasites.

If your body was healthy, the parasites would not want to be there. I consider them to be a symptom that you are unbalanced, or are good terrain for them. So, you might have them, might feel better getting rid of them, but still need to fix the circumstances that caused them to want to live there.

So then if I have a gluten allergy (that is poisoning my body because I have to keep eating it) , is that enough for me to be a host?

My guess would be yes. For me, my gluten intolerance was also secondary, so I can't say for sure.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
