I’m almost certain I have worms, I just don’t know what kind. So I’ve been having gastro symptoms for over 5 months now. Colonoscopy, blood work and ultrasound all came back normal. My first stool test came back negative 2 weeks ago. Symptoms include pressure/bloating in the belly, burning sensation/heat and diarrhea/constipation, etc. My doctor is pretty useless and isn’t even curious to see my pix but here they are what do you guys think? At first I saw small oval off-white objects like rice grains which I suspected to be eggs. Then later on they turned into cone-like shapes with a little strand of hair on the end and darker in color but lately I’ve been seeing what I think are the actual worms with bigger and longer stringy bodies in my stool. I’m sorry these pix are quite disgusting but I just want to get some feedback. These are definitely parasites right?! image
Thanks so much!

Another pic.
just bellying pain? no really serious stuff, not saying this isnt, like with your head etc?
I don’t have head symptoms and hopefully I’m able to get rid of these worms before it comes to that but almost on a daily basis I’ve been experiencing discomfort in the belly for 5 months and it’s not fun!
Put your evidence in a small lab bottle and get your doctor to check it out, thats what the doctors are paid for.

She wont look at it, everything has to go through the lab. I had mentioned to her I have photos and she hasnt even expressed any interest in see the photos. I’m about to turn in a second stool test and if it comes back negative again I will find another specialist. My current specialist has been pretty useless as you can see.
What about doctors on line, but not just where you live.
You could try the U.S or other Parasite centers, because you have photos it might be easier for them to identify what you have.
John
im very new to this forum! I didnt even know there were parasite centers or online doctors that I can share my photos with. Do you know of any specific online doctors and/or parasite centers that you can recommend?
THANKS!

The following is what I’ve found for you.
The first one i came across is called, worms in humans-NHS a lot of good information to help you.
The second one is a web site in the USA called, CDC-Parasite Resources Diagnosis.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention, on their Contact Us page they have information about how and what to do next.
Let me know if this is any help.
John
Hi John, thank you so much for this info! I will contact these sites and keep you guys updated!
Tim
hey dan, I am in toronto, let me know what u find and how you go about it. i am narrowing down my problems to parasites of some sort of virus and have very abnormal stoool fo 5 months. I currently have problems everywhere which has gone to my brain, and have to do everything on my own because health care system isnt to good here. One same stool tests are useless, i was going to maybe use my money to get a pathologist to do it.
Ok I will try to contact these places and keep you updated. Here’s a photo of these little white seed-like objects I keep seeing in my stool. They are about 1/8" diameter and feel hard but I can pop them and become like shells with nothing in them after I pop them. They have a slightly sharp end to them. I’m pretty certain they are not food because nothing I’ve eaten resembles these seeds.
I have been passing the long rope like things for a while but just literally tonight, I passed a load of them in one go + one of them weird white “pods”. I really don’t know what to think… I have looked at photos like this before and then concluded it’s just food or something but your photos look identical to what I passed tonight.
You cannot really go to Western med doctors for anything exploratory/outside of rhe norm. I wanted a hormone panel once & my GP MD wouldn’t do a panel. I highly recommend you visit a naturopath, and/or an acupuncturist. Any alternative medicine practitioner really. Those people healed me & actually made me better! And they trust you & don’t make you feel crazy for feeling like something isn’t right. Good luck ![]()
I have been dealing with the exact same thing for over a month. Went to the doctor. Had ultrasound, fecal test, and urea breath test. I was diagnosed with H Pylori. Was prescribed 3 medications and have to go back to the doctor for a follow-up this week. I’m still seeing weird stuff so I’m not sure if I’ve been diagnosed correctly or is what I’m seeing bacteria from infection of H Pylori. ![]()
see my post above.
I know it’s been 7 months ago since this post and you may have found the answer.
Almost 10 years of parasite searching I would say they are segments of tapeworm or tapeworm eggs.
Haven’t found a definition for my pests but think I have a least 3 different ones. Felt the best on Vermox but Dr won’t give me a stronger dose. You’re kind of on your own unfortunately when it comes to this. Most doctors I’ve seen, 2 ENTs (tiny black things coming out, she said it was wax
2 dermotologists, no answers. Said stop scratching… 2-3 regular doctors- I have dilusional parasititis.
So you learn to keep very quiet…
I have them in my eyes now, affecting vision so that it scary but won’t even venture to mention to new optometrist.
Ironically my psychiaritist believes me ![]()
Best of luck on this frustrating journey, usually alone as family think I’m coo-coo mama, doctors are no help, lab tests on stool show negative most of the time.
Hello, for 2 years been going through similar things. I went from doctor to doctor and everything was clear. nauseated, hot flashes, night sweats, stomach cramps, even have videos of movement throughout my body. I went to a holistic pharmacy a year ago when no Dr would even believe it could be a parasite. started a cleanse which made what was inside finally show in stools. I got treated for a pork tapeworm but it didn’t complete aside from the feelings with my head. now a year later I’m back to where I was but its more complicated because my body has been through so much. h pylori 4 times, over 10 uti’ s for no explained reason back to back treatment. Amongst other infections. kidney infection after infection which cause kidney damages Every time i get one. Finally set up to see the infectious disease specialist yet, I know it’s more complicated because it’s to my head. I doubted what I knew after being turned away a million times and procrastinated. Now I’m fighting for my health and life because in the physician words “the tapeworm has crossed the biological barrier” I would suggest fighting for your health and life. Keep going because we ought to know or own bodies and when something isn’t right. You’ll be turned away more then listen to but these parasite have the ability to travel after while and something simple can become complicated, even life or death.
to add to this I’ve experienced to. US doctors for the most part are just not good and ignorant about parasitic infections. they seem to think there’s some border where people in the US don’t get them and it’s total ****.
I honestly wouldn’t even bother with infectious disease doctors on this unless they are unique. from what I understand Doctor Cahill in NY who must be in his 80’s now is one of the last US medical parisitologists there is that you. can make appointments with.
I find it kind of disturbing and I’ve been sick for years myself and with lyme disease along with whatever else I may have. still trying to figure it out though.
