Parasites

So I saw my surgeon yesterday hoping to get a date for an endoscopy.

He thinks that we should screen for parasites through stool testing first, before we start talking scopes.

Did anyone else get tested for parasites too?

I read in an article on the web that parasites can be caused by food allergies - so can having a gluten allergy/intolerance cause parasites?

Just curious... :)

I had a tapeworm and roundworms .... they did NOT show up in testing! :o Stool testing does not show all parasites, but it is a valuable things to do.

I found the tapeworm/roundworms when I started taking Humaworm (www.humaworm.com) for the bacterial overgrowth that was discovered in the parasite testing.

I felt SIGNIFICANTLY better when I got rid of the parasites.

If your body was healthy, the parasites would not want to be there. I consider them to be a symptom that you are unbalanced, or are good terrain for them. So, you might have them, might feel better getting rid of them, but still need to fix the circumstances that caused them to want to live there.

So then if I have a gluten allergy (that is poisoning my body because I have to keep eating it) , is that enough for me to be a host?

My guess would be yes. For me, my gluten intolerance was also secondary, so I can't say for sure.

      Ground meat absolutely full of gluten?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      "grass-fed" meat by definition cannot contain wheat as it means the animal is only fed grass  organic meat can be fed wheat feed

      Weird Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your symptoms would not be typical celiac disease symptoms, but still could be related due to possible nutrient deficiencies.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      This is a difficult situation, and one that your employer may not take seriously. It's possible that they don't have a way to accommodate your issues, but I don't know much about your work environment. Obviously moving you to another work area would be ideal, but would or could they do that? If not, you might be stuck having to wear a K95-type mask at work to avoid breathing any particles, but they still could end up on your skin. Another alternative is searching for a new job.

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is an interesting theory, but it’s important to note that Ozempic, while it does slow digestion, doesn’t change the body’s immune response to gluten in individuals with celiac disease. Even if symptoms seem reduced, the immune system is still triggered, which can cause the same long-term damage to the intestines, regardless of symptom severity. Regarding sourdough bread, while it may have lower levels of gluten depending on how it’s made, it’s still not safe for people with celiac disease unless it’s explicitly gluten-free. The immune response to gluten in celiac disease is triggered by even tiny amounts of gluten, so adhering strictly to a gluten-free diet is essential for health and healing. If you suspect Ozempic or other factors are influencing your symptoms, it might be worth discussing with your healthcare provider or a specialist to ensure you’re fully addressing your health needs.
