How Did You Treat Parasites?

I've been doing alot of research on how to treat parasites naturally. It lists a HUGE list of herbal remedies and I'm wondering if you take all of them together?! It seems pretty extensive to do at home so I'm wondering how others have treated it and how long it took to heal? Any recommendations on products?

Also, have you ever treated with medications from a doctor? How did that go? Is that possible even?

One last thing I'd like to add...I'm in Colorado and we have the best gluten free beer! Well from what I've tried anyway and I've tried pretty much every gluten-free beer there is. New Planet Beer makes a lightly treated ale, Rasberry ale and a Pale Ale!! Just wanted to pass that on! you can check them out at www.newplanetbeer.com. I was reading through postings about gluten-free beer and thought I would share, they are spreading quickly! More and more bars here carry it regularly, its pretty awesome!

Thanks for feedback on the parasites, I really appreciate it.

The first thing you do is go to the doctor and get stool testing to make sure you actually have parasites. The doctor can then prescribe the proper medication to rid you of them.

I agree. I was diagnosed via stool test with cryptosporidia and treated with alinia. Later I was diagnosed with dientamoeba fragilis, but my ND still wanted to treat me with Alinia, even though that drug was not recommended for D-frag. Some docs get stuck on one drug for everything. So after 2 unsuccessful treatments with 2 different drugs, I found another doc who had lots of experience with parasites (treating people in South America). She had a book which listed appropriate treatments for each different parasite. Her recommended treatment worked. Then she ordered tests to figure out why I got 8 different gastro infections and frequent colds over a 4 year period. 2 years later my immunity is much stronger and rarely get colds. I haven't had another gastrointestinal infection since D-Frag. (My next stool test was clear of gut bugs, except for the good ones.)

      So glad @sh00148 that you now have a coeliac diagnosis for your daughter.   We really appreciate your update.  If we can help any further, do not hesitate to get in touch.

      Morning All, Just an update, I got an urgent appointment through my contact with PALS. The doctor confirmed her levels were the highest possible so she likely had higher levels of inflammation. Since the appointment, they ordered a second set of bloods, but as many of you confirmed he felt there was no doubt she was coeliac so asked us to start gluten-free. Since starting around a month ago, we have had no vomiting and this is the first week that we haven’t had to give her movicol. She’s had a (currently) a two week break from winter colds which is unheard of for her as she used to have a permanent cold in the winter months. Her tummy is softer and deflating quite a lot and her faces looks a little rosier. It’s wonderful and although I know we will have tough times in the future and difficulties with eating out, I feel so happy that we can make her better.    Thanks all.

      Yes.  My son was diagnosed at weaning in 1973 His treatment was Nutramigen until he healed and was weaned to a gluten free diet.  Nutramigen with Enflora LGG Toddler: Designed for older infants and toddlers aged 9 to 36 months  While your medical system is causing delay, I think you should start GFD and document improvement and do gluten challenge when the doctors are ready for her.  She is suffering and you don't know how it is affecting her growth and she is positive.  Waiting on the beauracracy.  I still remember how my son suffered while we looked for the reason.  One doctor wanted to give my wife valium because his swollen belly was being caused by her anxiety.  But to know the answer and have to watch her suffer!

      In case your tests turn out negative you may still want to try a gluten-free diet. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Thank you for your answer. Well, I'm going to eat at least 5 slices a day, each of them is 35 grams. I think I'll do blood tests again after four weeks. If the results are negative or not clear, I'll continue the challenge and repeat blood tests again after another four weeks.
