I'm riddled with parasites

Been fatigued for six months and chalked it up to 2020. Wake up tired, take a nap during the day, get to bed early. Started having some stomach issues. Tons of gas and bloat and diarrhea. Again chalked it up to 2020 and anxiety. I've always been a clean, healthy eater with a rare indulgence here and there. Finally last month got a full panel done. Everything checked out just fine--healthy as a horse. Finally the stomach issues got so bad I went on an elimination diet which didn't make one bit of difference. Stomach cramps, awful bloating, and fatigue to the point I was taking a day off every week for about four months.

Decided to try the eastern route and went to a naturopath/energy reader who took a stool sample and I have worms. Yes, worms. Larva and eggs and worms. Could be from food or doorknobs or water or my dog or, or, or, or, or.

Now I'm on a hardcore THREE MONTH cleanse.

2020 can fuck itself in the ear.

If you have worms you need a damn site more than just a 'cleanse.'

To double check this, ask your doc to send a stool sample to a legit lab for ova and parasites. If they don’t find anything, send your naturopath a side eye and dispute the bill.

This is how you get rid of worms. I stole this from another DL’er, and can’t remember the exact details. First you put a piece of cheese up your ass. Then you put a mint up your ass. Repeat 2x. Finally put another piece of cheese up, and wait. When the worm pops out to ask “Where’s the mint”, boink it on the head.

OP- " Parasites" are a common diagnostic trope for Naturopathic doctors that unfortunately ( rarely) have little basis in reality. In modern Western society, unless you are planting crops barefoot in cow manure and other such *niceties* the chances of you being exposed to parasites are slim to none. Here is a very witty take-down of this subject by an M.D. on his Science blog. Be sure to read to the end:

OP here, the naturopath put me on this cleanse. Plus zero sugar for three months.

My dog had her annual checkup just weeks ago when things opened back up and she had no worms.

I called my primary (who is also a friendly acquaintance) with this news and she didn't seem shocked at all. "Happens pretty often, we all host parasites . . . most likely from sushi" was her response. I do eat a lot of sashimi. She also recommended a cleanse to start and zero carbs while I'm on it.

She told me I'd be very intimate with my toilet for about a month.

OP, why didn’t your MD take a stool sample? I would go back to her and get a real stool analysis done, in a medical lab.

by Anonymousreply 25July 31, 2020 5:51 AM

OP, if you have worms, a cleanse won’t get rid of them (or do anything else useful). You need to have your doctor analyse a stool sample, and prescribe an appropriate anthelmintic to get rid of them. Worm your dog, too.

by Anonymousreply 26July 31, 2020 6:04 AM

OP again, I'm taking in stool tomorrow to my primary so she can analyze as well. She knows the naturopath that saw me and trusts her, they work in the same university clinic together. (The naturopath is an ND/PhD in a research hospital and a respected "energy" person. I guffawed too until smart people I trust swore by her.)

I just kind of can't get over the thought of having worms in my body.

Worms are pretty common in children. All you need to do is take two doses of a tablet you can get from any pharmacy and they're gone in days.

by Anonymousreply 37July 31, 2020 8:06 AM

I don't believe your primary doctor talked to you over the phone, first of all. I definitely don't believe they discussed a diagnosis with you without having received paperwork from the other clinic, and I sure as shit don't believe they shrugged and said, "Sure, worms are totally common, that's probably what you've got, dude."

And I DEFINITELY do not believe a medical doctor prescribed a cleanse to treat parasitic worms. There is literally no evidence saying that a parasitic cleanse works. Just because Goop's website tells you it's real doesn't mean it is.

Our next door neighbor growing up had worms. She was probably 8 years old when it happened. I remember my mother saying the girl’s parents had to put a line of scotch tape on her butt crack while she slept and then in the morning when they took it off they found some small worms stuck on it.

Could that be true?

It’s burned in my memory.

Good luck OP.

R51 is dead-on accurate. A cleanse WILL NOT CORRECT THIS. You may feel MILDLY better temporarily, but absolutely you must take antibiotics. It's quite simple to diagnose. Tell your regular MD or whoever, that you think you have Giardia - it's not rare, but sure in the hell won't get cleared up with a cleanse.

OP here. For all the "no real doctor would take your call over the phone." As I mentioned, my primary is also a friend/acquaintance (our kids go to school together and we see each other socially often) and I called to ask her about the natural cleanse. This wasn't an in-person scheduled appointment like the one I had with her colleague, the ND/PhD who recommended starting with a cleanse.

Anyhow, as the primary recommended, I just dropped a stool sample at my regular clinic this morning. We'll see what they have to say. And yes, R67, I was told not to have any grapefruit within 24 hours of bringing in the sample.

(And why the hell would I make up a story like this?)

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is a cleanse? How is it different from a fast? If it’s your intestines being cleansed, then what do you cleanse them with? Vinegar? Soap? Oil?

Also: how does a cleanse relate to a high colonic? Can someone get a cleanse and a high colonic at the same time or are they mutually exclusive?
