I was just diagnosed with parasites by a microscopist, Laura Belg-Adams. Seriously, give her a call. Your symptoms are exactly case-book and she will explain exactly what is happening. There is a reason she has patients from all over the world. Give her 90 days. What have you got to lose? In the States, 917-449-1060
hey, you should be tested and do some internet research on H pylori and also Lyme Diease! they both are wicked in what they do to our body and without the right tests you will never know hun!! im serious!!! I have or had just finished treatment and have to be retested for H pylori!! Im life has been slowly slipping away in every way possible and after being told its "ALL IN MY HEAD" for so many years, i had a complete melt down with no memory of any of it... a week in ICU and one nut hut later I started searching for answers!!! Dont give up!!!

Frank,
i live in the USA and have has the exact same experience! I am going on 6 years now. I finally went to a hematologist and they tested me for H Pylori, which is a bacterial infection in your stomach. It is not common, but is easily curable. It is a course of heavy antibiotics ( two different kinds along with Nexium), and it cured everything including my rashes. I had to do the treatment twice. It can eventually cause stomach cancer if not treated. I am a doctors daughter and you would
think that having access to fast care because of my connections would have helped, but NO. There are several tests for H Pylori, but the most definitive is the breath test. Make sure you go on an empty stomach or the results will be impaired...they don't always tell you this. Also, do not take any medications for a couple of weeks before being tested because it will impair the results as well.
This is to Frank and anyone else who might be able to help me. First, Frank, did you get any results since you last visited 10 mths ago?
What I'd like to say is...I have pretty much all the same symptoms as you with the exception I have sarcoidosis & sjogrens syndrome...I've been in the hospital many times. I'm so very frustrated because I just don't know who to turn to. Also, none of the doctors I've seen past if off as the medication I was on was causing hallucinations. Okay, they wanted to just pass it off so I went to a hospital and I (under supervision) did withdrawal from the medication (it's necessary bc I was injured severly in an auto accident). I changed medication and the symptoms are worse than ever. The thing is, I can pull out what feels like worms out of my eye and it even opens it's mouth and will attach to my finger then unroll like a finger rubber. I can feel these "things" but cannot see them. I've read that parasites are the oldest as far as living things go and they've perfected the way they do things and yes, they can make it so they are invisible, which makes it so hard for the drs to take me serious. I finally asked them to research a little on parasites and you be the judge.
Presently, I feel like it's done something to my nervous system bc I shake...when I talk the words don't always come out right and I feel hyper all the time.
So, Frank, please give me good news that being, you found a doctor that believes in you and found the answers you needed.
warm regards,
Frustrated
Both of the syndromes you listed are indeed caused by H pylori!!!
Also there is a tape worm that too maybe involved! The Dwarf
tape worm can survive in one host for many years! It's larva
Is the only thing that is passed in your stool, but its not a freakwent
Process like most tape worms! It does just like the parasite
H pylori and burrows inside the liner of the stomach and colon!
Very small and also hard to pick up on tests! I just found our recently,
I too was infected by the tape worm and H pylori as well!
Google it! Good luck! Sarah
Hello. I am new to this site and I am very desperate. I have been in such pain for over two months. I have been to the ER twice this past week alone. They keep sending me home saying I had a kidney stone or I have a virus. I know I have a parasite or parasites by the look of my stool. I see things in there and even showed my fiance. I took samples to the ER and they looked at me like I was crazy. I am trying to find on here not only long string and mucouslike looking stuff as well as round, brown bug-like and the size of a small tick things too tonight for the first time in my loose stool. I have issues with constipation, so I take laxatives and then I get the opposite. Sorry to be so extreme and descriptive but I do not know what else to do. I have an appointment in two weeks with a gastroenterologist, but my anxiety with the thought of things living inside me that do not belong freaks me out as well as dealing with the extreme pain. I just got off antibiotics. What should I do next?
I not only suffer from abdominal and upper stomach pain but I also suffr from muscle and horrible back pain, upper and lower, including my spinal cord. Sometimes the pain is so bad I feel like I cannot stand it. It really is bad. I have a rheumotologist for Fibromyalgia but you know how that goes.
Hi! My name is Sarah! I'm here to tell ya hun your not alone!
I've been suffering my whole life with the same issues and a whole lot more!
H pylori (a parasite), dwarf tape worms, liver fluke tape worms, and garidia( not sure. On the spelling) parisitic tape worm...has about led me to grave! Get tested! Google all of the above! Do ur research! For starters everything you have talked about. Sounds like H pylori! But bathroom habits are yes what H pylori. Does to but if nothing is showing up in your stood u may also have the dwarf tape worm! It inhabits one host and for years never be detected. Due to it drops larva spontaneously at random times and the tape worm never comes out until killed! Very small, clearis white & brown
With destinctive markings! Google! Good luck, Sarah
Hi frank, I have been diagnosed with lupus twn years ago. I started taking natural medicine to help with the symptoms. Strangly I had drank some really bad water that had been sitting in a bottle in a river as a stupid prank with my friends. I then within the year started noticing terrible stomach problems. I was put on quinine five years ago during my pregnancy with my youngest daughter. Its the same medicine they give maleria patients. Its the only medicine that has trully helped. I have found that my four year old caught pin worms. She has been sick along with myself on and off for years now. She became very ill with several rashes similair to mine. Hers started mutating into severe hives and whst they now are saying after countless doctor and hospital visits. Is tracking worms! I have had a pain and almost movement in ny for ten years. My daughter had an xray done and they saw a huge mass. Doctor said had to be worms. They are currebtly testing her for what kind. We both started taking food grade D.E. along with pin x and albenza and have started to feel ten younger. I can smell again and have not taken my quinine in two wks starting the treatment. All of this is all too familair to me. I do believe most autoimmune diseases are from parasites. I have currently for the first time tested negative to lupus in all ways. My mind is becoming clearer. My breathing. No more bronchitus or crazy viruses nobody else seems to catch but us anymore. There is hope. Keep researching and clearity will come. Good luck to everyone.
sdricart thank you for this information. I do believe my problems are now attacking my nerves. I shake all the time. Anyway, does Laura have you send in a sample or does she need to see you? Well, I'll give her a call and see what's the best thing to do.
Anyway, you have NO idea how long I've tried to find someone/anyone to help me. My doctor was seemingly having fun making me feel there was something mentally wrong with me ... she'd call ahead when I had an appt with a different doctor and tell him that it's my meds that is making me "think" this. I never gave her permission to call and talk to anyone!! So with that said, you can imagine how the past 10 years have been...I wanted to just end it..but I have kids; I couldn't do that to them. Again, thank you for this information.

Mary, google "Gusty" and it may answer many questions you may have. I just happened upon it and found it very, very helpful...and finally a light at the end...so, with that said, I encourage you to read it and see for yourself.
Good luck

Hi every sufferer including frank47
I have simmiler digestive disorder (undiagnosed chronic diarrhea without blood for 7 years till now ) . all these simptoms and digestive disorders due to some pathogens at digestive tract where ever located and need Good Lab. not government Labs that using tradition tests for a while. I find difference when i made stool tests at privat Lab. in my country it is GENOVA at N.Corolaina state
USA as one of three best Labs at USA (Mayo clinic, CDC Labs) I think you have simmiler Labs at your countries So starting to made stool tests then make another tests for stool by another Labs to ensure what found in previous Labs that mentioned above .these labs. using PCR methods which more than 95 percent
acurate for specific parasites and other pathogens(bacteria or virus or Fungs).
My Advice briefly make stool tests at most specific and sensetive method at best Labs. any where in world ,even expensive to shortening the time and sufferance.
Nori641 ~ this is gross but is your diarreah yellowish in color? if so go to Google and read what it says about H Ployri.....goggle "Gutsy" You'll be amazed 
frustrated61
sdricart...check out the info ...google "gutsy" and see what it's all about...it may help you...and it's attacking my nerves as well.
frustrated61
whoops it's H Pylori :P
No, in the private Lab. find every thing mostly SIOB .no h.loyri found
at my gut due to 7 endoscopies and colonoscopies that carried out.
Some times no pathogens found in stool or blood or urine tests because
there is some bad bacteria which originaly living at intestine from childhood and it necessary for life of human BUT due to wrong life style at western countries some of them change to pathogens and when found in stool the pathologist said it normal (flora) and not pathogens
such as Blastocystis.hominis and D.fragilis but now scientitsts realized
that is pathogens and so on. each day there are new pathogens created
inside our intestine but reseachers standing at defence position while
the pathogens standing at attake position. there are too much speach about these matter but unfotunatly my language is poor. Now to solve
all or most digestive disorders that doctor not found the causes as for most patients diseases ,the solution is Fecal Microbiota Transplantation
(FMT). that change all intestine flora (bad and good) by new flora from
faeces of healthy donor. This new treatments for undiagnosed digestive
tract problems.
No, because parasites are ifectious diseases and Autoimmune diseases
found due to change the life style of humen specially at western countries
like Crohns,Colitis ....etc The main reason of these disease is changing natural
food to junk food(prosses,cans,take away,) which contain chemical posion but
people not get disease till after 10-30 years .Junk food the resposibilty of govenments and people. More than half items at big markets are junks food
Hi,
I recently had a parasite (Giardia). I had eaten take out food from a well know greek restaurant and the chicken was raw. I woke up in the middle of the night to excruciating abdominal pains worse than any I've ever had before. Lots of gas and then foul smelling diarrhea. I was finally able to go back to bed and fall asleep only to be woken at 6am with the same symptoms. At this point my bowels emptied out and then I started passing blood. This continued throughout the day where I felt the urgency to run to the bathroom but all that I would pass was blood. I know it wasn't hemorrhoids as I've had them before. It was a small amount each time but looked like more when in the water. Needless to say this concerned me. I called my GI doctor who had me come in for blood work and stool samples. I was diagnosed with Giardia and C. Diff. The doctor believes the C. Diff is from antibiotic use. It is possible but after much research I found it can also be ingested. Bottom line is I'll never know. The C. Diff is actually worse than the parasite and can be very difficult to get under control. It can also come back if antibiotics are taken again making it harder to recover with treatment also causing other health issues. Both conditions require the same treatment. I was given Flagyl for 10 days. I did test negative for both after treatment but have had lots of trouble with pain in my intestines and a lot of acid indigestion/reflux. I was told to stay on a low fiber diet avoiding all wheat, grains, produce, etc., I am a strong believer in a high fiber diet with power foods so mentally this was proving difficult for me. Especially worrying that I would end up with a yeast infection as white carbs and sugar contribute to candida. Every time I tried to add fiber I would end up with mild stomach cramping and rushing to the bathroom with diarrhea. So now I knew I had to heal my gut which led me to further researching.
I try as much as possible leaning toward a more holistic approach at least for prevention. Now that I'm concerned about about antibiotic use, I feel it's even more important. A few times I came across people mentioning the GAPS diet which is definitely doable but a little too involved for me personally as my issue isn't as severe as others so I don't feel it necessary but it may be helpful to others. The website does say you should stay true to the diet for 2 years. I did incorporate a few things like organic homemade chicken broth/soup and a few other foods from the website that actually soothed my stomach. For anyone who is interested this is the website _____
I have been clear of parasites and the bacterial infection for aproximately 3 weeks now although still having food sensativities and soft stools, I continued to research. I came across food grade Diatomaceous Earth. This stuff is AMAZING! It can rid you of parasites and many other health ailments. I am including the link and also a link for Salica which explains it as it is one of the main ingredients of the Diatomaceous Earth. There are a tremendous amount of benefits that come from taking it. From the website it explains how it moves through the stomach and digestive tract, absorbing fungi, protozoa, viruses, endotoxins, pesticides, drug residues, E.coli, and heavy metals that are trapped inside the diatomaceous earth and passed out of the body. Also any larger parasites that happen to be in the stomach or digestive tract are killed. I read most of the posts on this forum but didn't see anything referencing these things. This is the website and I recommend reading through the entire website including the testimonials. _____
I also do Oil pulling with organic extra virgin cocnut oil. I take 1/2- 1 tbsp of coconut oil and swish around my mouth and between teeth for 20 minutes in the morning before brushing my teeth. Spit into trash or toilet because it pulls lots of bacteria out of you teeth and gums and you dont want that in your sink. You need 20 minutes for the oil to break through the plaque but not more than 20 minutes because you dont want the bacteria to reabsorb back into your system. More info on the website _____. You can type oil pulling into your search engine and there a number of different websites giving pretty much the same info. I started that because I am going through some dental work that was put on hold due to the parasite and C. Diff. I was having a bad taste where the tooth in question was. After a few days of the oil pulling, the taste went away and my acid reflux also subsided. May be coincidence but it can't hurt and I really feel it has helped.
I am not a doctor or claim to know that any of these things will actually help you. I have no affiliation with any of the companies or people associated with these websites or prevention/remedies. I just feel its an injustice that we are not made aware of natural substances such as the food grade Diatomaceous Earth. I guess it come down to the mighty dollar as usual. I wanted to share my findings since there are so many people out there that feel they are at a dead end. And if there is something that can not bring any harm to you why not give it a try if there is a possibility of relief from your symtoms and possibly ridding you of them for good. I ordered two 50lb bags of the food grade Diatomaceous Earth. It was delivered yesterday. Not only do I plan on using it myself but will give it to my 2 dogs, use it on my vegetable garden, put it in my egg laying chickens feed and into the soil where they take their dust bath to cool off in the heat as it will dry out and kill any pests or parasites that can harm them or us for that matter.
I really hope this helps some if not all of you or anyone else that comes across this post.

Hi Kerrybb7 ~
I just wanted to pass along what I've read up on C-diff...pretty much what you wrote and then some...I too caught C-diff when I was in the hospital for something unrelated to C-diff here's what I found:
CausesBy Mayo Clinic Staff
"C. difficile bacteria are found throughout the environment — in soil, air, water, human and animal feces, and food products, such as processed meats. A small number of healthy people naturally carry the bacteria in their large intestine and don't have ill effects from the infection.
C. difficile infection is most commonly associated with health care, occurring in hospitals and other health care facilities where a much higher percentage of people carry the bacteria. However, studies show increasing rates of community-associated C. difficile infection, which occurs among populations traditionally not considered high risk, such as children and people without a history of antibiotic use or recent hospitalization.
C. difficile bacteria are passed in feces and spread to food, surfaces and objects when people who are infected don't wash their hands thoroughly. The bacteria produce spores that can persist in a room for weeks or months. If you touch a surface contaminated with C. difficile, you may then unknowingly swallow the bacteria.
Your intestines contain millions of bacteria, many of which help protect your body from infection. But when you take an antibiotic to treat an infection, the drug can destroy some of the normal, helpful bacteria as well as the bacteria causing the illness. Without enough healthy bacteria, C. difficile can quickly grow out of control. The antibiotics that most often lead to C. difficile infections include fluoroquinolones, cephalosporins, clindamycin and penicillins.
Once established, C. difficile can produce toxins that attack the lining of the intestine. The toxins destroy cells and produce patches (plaques) of inflammatory cells and decaying cellular debris inside the colon and cause watery diarrhea.
Emergence of a new strain
An aggressive strain of C. difficile has emerged that produces far more toxins than other strains do. The new strain may be more resistant to certain medications and has shown up in people who haven't been in the hospital or taken antibiotics. This strain of C. difficile has caused several outbreaks of illness since 2000"
Symptoms
By Mayo Clinic Staff
"Some people carry the bacterium C. difficile in their intestines but never become sick, though they can still spread the infection. C. difficile illness usually develops during or within a few months after a course of antibiotics.
Mild to moderate infection
The most common symptoms of mild to moderate C. difficile infection are:
Watery diarrhea three or more times a day for two or more days
Mild abdominal cramping and tenderness
Severe infection:
In severe cases, people tend to become dehydrated and may need hospitalization. C. difficile causes the colon to become inflamed (colitis) and sometimes may form patches of raw tissue that can bleed or produce pus (pseudomembranous colitis).
Signs and symptoms of severe infection include:
Watery diarrhea 10 to 15 times a day
Abdominal cramping and pain, which may be severe
Fever
Blood or pus in the stool
Nausea
Dehydration
Loss of appetite
Weight loss
Swollen abdomen
Kidney failure
Increased white blood cell count
When to see a doctor
Some people have loose stools during or shortly after antibiotic therapy. This may be due to C. difficile infection. See your doctor if you have three or more watery stools a day and symptoms lasting more than two days or if you have a new fever, severe abdominal pain or cramping, or blood in your stool."
I thought this might also add to what you've put in, Kerry. The different levels of symptoms and when you should see the doctor. Like I said, I had C-diff from a stay in the hospital. My immune system is very low, if any. I have two auto-immune diseases: Sjogrens and Sarcoidosis...both of these really suck...it changed who I am in many, many ways. Anyway, thank you again, Kerrybb7.

Thankyou for the info. I had read the Mayo clinic website and saw most of what you posted. I was on 2 rounds of Avelox for a sinus infection in November and Leviquin last year for a sinus infection and bronchitis. They are both from the flouroquinolone family. I suffer from recurring sinus infections and Avelox is the only drug I respond to. The last round though I had a very bad reaction to and will never take it again. Hence my concern to practice prevention. I haven't tried the Diatomaceous earth yet due to some busy plans in the next week and fear the flu like symptoms that I may experience for the first few days which will could prevent me from doing what I need to do. I have a plan to start next weekend. I tried posting the sites but the host of this site I guess doesn't allow it. I did a lot of research for which food grade D.E. is the best. If you are going to order it and are interested please private message me and I will give you the all the info. I really hope that this is something that will help you because it sounds as though you've really been suffering. I can definitely understand your frustration
