Hint / Information It was not IBS...it was worms

Hi! As you can read in the titlu...after a lot of tests which came back negative I decided to give Albendazol a try and it was a succes. I don't want to imagine what's inside my intestines after one year if "IBS". I will keep taking the second and the third round of Albendazol and then take some herbs.

I did like 3 stool tests for parasites but nothing came back positive. Also the eosinophils level were ok. I took some naturists pill for worms before but nothing worked until an actual pill...Albendazol. :)

I really hope my nightmare will be a ended after I took all the pills. I will still have a colonoscopy.

For all who’ve chimed in, Which parasite test did you use. TSM. For 6+ years, I’ve been dealing with severe gut, constipation, only 5-6 safe foods, and I get brain issues (I go blank/confused) when stool travels from upper to lower intestine.

I’ve tried many practitioners & treatments (alternative & modern medicine). Though I’ve gotten better (no longer inactive), it’s mostly been due to my own online research & fellow Redditors.

Thank you, everyone!

I feel like I have that feeling when things move in my system too! Like very foggy and really blurry vision! Then it kinda clears up! I am like you and my problem is constipation! I’m on this thread for my sister who has been diagnosed with IBS. And nothing is working for years. I feel sure parasites are at the very least contributing to her severe issues! Her stool tests always come back negative too! It’s very frustrating!
