Icon I wish I had found this thread a long time ago! Thanks for sharing this!!!!! Yeah my symptoms came on pretty suddenly, over a year ago. I remember being a little sick for a week or so...hot and sweaty, maybe a fever in the bra-yain too...and this HORRIBLE gut pain and diarrhea. It seems that I've just been living with it for a year on my own...only talked to my doctor about it recently. My liver numbers are also off the charts, but I'm not sure if it's related. What I get is pain in my gut on the left side...warm...almost inflamed feeling. And I always have diarrhea, haven't had a solid stool in over a year. I'm going to look more into the wormwood/walnut thing. I will also ask my doctor about the metrimex thing. It sounds like the only way to go. I hate going to bed thinking there's friggin parasites in me.
Thanks Icon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sounds like ibs which is parasitic related or caused .....your welcome i hope this thread will help alot of people..... ive been researching parasites for many years now & talking to 2 of my very open minded docs that are amazingingly intelagent they have been discussing everything with me in detail teaching me everything about parasites/bacteria etc.... recently been doing research on food that kill parasites i have a list posted all ready but with some experimenting ive been doing psyllium seed husk,papaya seeds & pumpkin seeds are big parasite killers.....ate just a small amount & had die off felt like i was going to die lol which sounds bad but its a good thing when parasites die they release ammonia & cyanide thats what make you sick even when their not dying this is were psyllium seeds husks comes into play also watermelon flushes out ammonia from your body i feel great after eating watermelon, i didnt know why until recently i did some research & read about it. appearently lemon juice/seed & peal made into a tea will help your body rid of parasites too but havent tried it yet.

Yah, I went to my doc with a few ideas of what could be causing my IBS, and allergic reactions. Now im jumping through their hoops, doing test after test. I might just ditch the doctors games and solve this myself.

I know it's a bit late to contribute here icon but I thought I might add a few stories that would confirm what you have already found.

I've travelled for many years throughout Asia had have had the misfortune of contracting giardia, three different amoeba, thread worm and god knows what else! Whenever I leave Asia I always make sure to check with a doctor from the country I'm leaving. This is because they a far better at spotting these things. They have a lot more practice at finding these things and the procedure is so completely different when giving samples! In the west they take stool samples far too late and many of the traces for these things disappear.

I have many stories of people who travelled the east only to be ill for YEARS because western doctors couldn't find anything and said it was ibs..

Myself, I had bowel trouble for a year before going back to Asia and getting checked out there. Only to find I had parasites living in me all that time. I was on treatment for one week and BANG! No more problem!

Giardia is extremely difficult to get rid of because it can lay dormant for such long periods.

I also know a woman that unfortunately had the parasite she had travel to her brain and cause mental illness.

If you want to find out if you have parasites then it's always best to visit a Tropical Institute when your at home instead of visiting your local doctor. Or visit a place that has direct experience with parasites.

good info Kalbhairav thanks for sharing,,, bottom line is when it comes to parasites,bacteria western medicine sucks balls ive been to some docs that specialize in parasites like at UCLA etc but none of them knew how to treat them unless they guess with a combo of dangerous antibiotics that have a better chance of harming you further like Amoxicillin WTF!!!! MORONS! i even had one doc at UCLA suppose to be the best, tell me parasites cant live in humans only animals & 3rd world countries lol like parasites choose poor countries to thrive or something & also said theres no such thing as food allergies & this guy is suppose to be the best internal medicine spcialist?!?.....HORRIBLE!!!


remember the test you want to ask for is METAMETRIX its 5000 times stronger then the standard test/that is pointless& has less then 1% detection .... metemetrix test for the parasite DNA this test also check for BACTERIA & someother stuff.


i have recently learned that metal toxicity (mercury poisoning) say from the fillings in your mouth is linked to IBS aswell & i also tested positive+ for mercury & lead poisoning i think thats the brunt of all my health issues & ive been in deep for a long time............if you do this test for metal toxicity it MUST BE CHALLENGED or it will show negative....been through this bullshit too.......challenged means you have to take some sulfur pills to draw the metal out of your bones,tissues,blood etc.


i'll problably start a thread on that too & do a journal as i get mine takin out & detox then sue the dental association & make a media circus out of it.........they claim they didnt know its poisonous yet they warn you not to throw your fillings away sounds like a dumb excuse so when somebody like me gets their life ruined by it they dont have to take any resposibillity....you have to pay them to get it put in your mouth,,,then get very ill & go through agony of test & stupid doctors, major health problems etc....then pay them again to get them takin out?!? FUCK ME i want my money back...& my life fuckers!!!!

Interesting, I have had diarrhea for a decade and half with a load of other "IBS" symptoms. Cold sweats and occasional fevers as well. Been through countless GI "experts" who just call it sever IBS and GERD with no known cause. What's odd is after I ate about a half pound of pumpkin seeds I got very sick, was burping up sulfur rotten egg smell etc, so I have avoided them since. Perhaps it was the pumpkin seeds killing whatever the hell is making me sick and flooding my system with dead worm toxins. Charming.

This is an interesting thread. Thanks for sharing the information. I should also add that people should be careful with wormwood. The active ingredient in worm wood is a nuerotoxin called thujone so consider this before ODing on wormwood. You can do permanent damage to your kidneys among other things.

This to me is classic symptoms of Giardia. It is like a parasitic limpet shell that attaches itself to the inside of the intestine. It can lay dormant for years and years. The reason I think it might be this (or some other parasite) is because of the tastes/smells of sulphur that your emitting. Another symptom will be craving sugar!

I've stayed for very long periods in India and have had Giardia maybe three times and also all kinds of different kinds of amoebic ailments. Whenever I've had the sulphuric taste/smell it has always been Giardia (this just might be me though).

It is actually quite prevalent in the US so I've heard. Many people also go on holiday and contract it just to bring it home.

There are some herbal (or from a natural source) remedies you can try to see if it helps before pumping your system with hard core pharmaceutical drugs.

The first being Grapefruit seed oil - Here is a link (below) to what it is used for along with prevention/elimination of parasites. I've never used this but heard very good things! This is very easy to buy pretty much anywhere online... It can even be used to purify water.

http://www.sinusitiswellness.com/articles/top-10-uses-grapefruit-seed-extract.pdf

Others are Papaya seeds and chewing Papaya leaves. I have several very good natural Ayurvedic medicines from India which really can be very good. One is called Isabbael by Baidyanath medicines. This is the very BEST I have ever tried for keeping the pesky fuckers at bay! You might be able to get it from Ebay or online somewhere.

All of these medicines have a very very bitter taste! The bitterness is what the parasites hate! I would recommend trying to cut down on your sugar intake as well as this is what parasites feed off most of all.

If I were you Hatter I would try one of these or all of them. Hope you can find a remedy soon.

Thanks for the heads up. I also tend to fiend for sugary foods particularly beverages. That could just be the fact that I smoke cannabis, then again I still crave sweets even on days I don't smoke so perhaps its not the culprit. I will look into the grapefruit seed and other remedies mentioned here.

The other thing that makes me think its a damn parasite is that every time they give me metronidozol which is a nasty drug that kills gut parasites, I get better for a while.

you want to take psyllium seed husks when you detox from any parasite it will absorb any toxins being released from the parasites including any toxins in your gut from other stuff especially if you take herbs or antibiotics that maybe harmfull to your health the stuff works very well you can feel it work almost instantly...i take a pinch every once in awhile just to cleanse out my gut from toxins in general. if you take it start small by taking about 1/4 or less of whats instructed & you can always take more if you need to.

thanks to all who contribute to this thread your input is very much appreciated!

best of luck hatter i hope some of this info will help you get better & if so you can teach others from your experiances

That sounds like either helicobactor pylori, or clostridium, which overgrow your intestinal track from using other antibiotics. Helicobactor Pylori are bacterium present in everyone's gut, but in some people they cause ulcers, gastritis, & reflux disease. Sometimes, a treatment of antibiotics, like metronidozole will get rid of those on the surface of your stomach, but some bacterium bore into your stomach wall, where the antibiotics can't get to them, so they constantly return after treatment. Initially, you feel better, but they come back. The only treatment for that condition is an overnight stay in the hospital, where they fill your stomach with liquid antibiotics and let them soak in overnight. This generally takes care of the problem, but they are difficult to totally eradicate in some folks.

if its a bacteria like H.pylori you can take MASTIC it will kill it along with many other types of bacteria..(take probiotics/acidopholus to help replenish your good bacteria)...do some research on mastic...its all natural comes from the mastic tree which grows in greece. stay away from antibiotics if you can they will usually do more harm then good.

if you can ide suggest go to a doc and ask to do the metametrix test it will determine what parasites or bacteria you have then from there you can figure out what will work best to cure it.

Ahh, yes, psyllium husk.. I know this stuff very well. It can be great as a tonic like icon says to drink once in a while to scrape out the intestine. It won't actually kill parasites but acts also as a type of cement for the stomach. Great if you have diarrhoea and want to clog yourself up!! If you mix it with water it turns into a 'wall paper paste' type gel which helps coat the intestine! One of the Ayurvedic medicines I mentioned earlier (Isabbael) has psyllium in it as its base.

Good tip icon, this stuff is great!

My Mom has had helicobactor. It isn't pretty. She was driving and this thing attacked her. It messed with her balance and was really a nasty time for her. Luckily her doctor out in Asia knew what it was and she got treatment fast.

Ahhhhh, the joys of spending long periods abroad ha ;)

im really thinking my wife has H Pylori or some sort of parasite.. for the past year.. shes been having stomach pain.. headaches.. restlessness. the sweats and chills.. diarhea .. nausea..acid reflux .. indigestion.. just feeling like shit.. the doctors have no clue.. and when i have brought up parasites. they just look at me like im a fucking idiot.. its like what the fuck.. when it first started she could eat anything.. now she barely eats.. shes cut out everything nothing changed.. she craves sugar and candy and sweets.. and also craves dairy products and claims in makes her feel better..

i honestly.. not being anything close to a doctor. but id like to think im a pretty smart person. i beieve she has a parasite or h pylori. something of the sort because of how it came on.. .. also.. this all started to happen after a kidney infection.. where they prescribed her bactrim. and it almost killed her as her kidneys almost shut down.. then they put her on ciprofolaxin or something like that... ever since then.. !!! this has been the situation with a horrible stomach pain and the other symptoms listed above..

if anyone has info feel free to PM me.. im losing hope in the healthcare system forsure.

definately sounds like a parasite or bacteria, anti biotics kill all your good bacteria & then the bad bacteria take over........ive gone through all of those what you described & still am but its been much better since i got rid of the h. pylori, i got rid of it by eating olive oil with every meal so ide suggest look into h. pylori & olive oil & look into mastic

has anyone ever try chlorella? im going to be taking it for mercury & lead detoxing but have read many other benefits...spiralina is another one...may not be good for parasites but probally could help fight bacteria

It could be Clostridium Difficile. This sometimes presents after antibiotic use. Google it to learn about it. Basically, the good bacteria in your gut are killed by antibiotics, and the "bad" bacteria take over. Flagyl is an antibiotic that suppresses C.Difficile. Also, probiotics can help to restore the normal bacteria in your gut.

don't say that shit--c-diff is a pain IN the ass to get rid of--after a long hospital stay i got c-diff took 6mos on vancomycin 500mg to the tune of $14,000 dollars to finally beat it! YOU DON'T WANT THAT SHIT!
on a side note--i have found raw kambucha to be very effective in combating gut problems--far more beneficial than probiotics alone--i swear by that stuff these days!
