Parasites? What IS this? *Pics*

[yellowlilax]

*UPDATE on 3rd page*

Ok, this is disgusting, I know. Back story: I've had alternating diarrhea/constipation the last few months. In the beginning, it started as lower left side pain. Now thats gone and this diarrhea/constipation seems to be the culprit. I was tested for parasites, had an MRI, CT Scan, blood work, the whole deal. Everything has been negative. I have been studying my stool lately (gross, I know, but I have to!) and I have noticed a few times these weird round fluid filled tiny sacs. I took pics this time...any idea what this can be? I have tried to chock it up as something I ate, but I cant think of anything that would look like this. If i push on them, they burst and fluid comes out - the "skin" is soft. This is so TMI - I'm so sorry...

Excellent pics. You even have the scale with the ruler. Good for you for trying to find what ales you.

I have no idea.

But have you tried any parasite cleanses? Is your pH alkaline? Have you tried eliminating common allergens? wheat,soy, dairy?

I did try some parasite cleanses to no avail. I even tried a couple drugs. I had a microscopic parasite that Genova Diagnostics found. I finally, "accidentally" got rid of them after I learned about alkalizing my body, became alkaline AND did a couple raw-juice fasts.

Do you have some $$$? If so, heck if not, I'd borrow it --- I think a Complete Digestive Stool Analysis from Genova Diagostics should be in order.

Best of luck to you. Pls post when you find out what those buggers are.

save your money... eat/juice more garlic!!!

sorry i have no idea what that is.

[yellowlilax]

I wish I did have the money. My life has been turned upside down the last 4 months and as a normally optimistic happy person I am starting to be depressed. I would hate to do another cleanse of some kind. My body has been through so much. I've been told and self diagnosed so many different things and nothing has helped. I've been to dr appointments too many to count and last I checked I have $12,000 in medical bills - let alone the supplements and herbs I have bought/advice I have paid for, etc. I dont even know where to go with whatever this is I found.

[yellowlilax]

Oh, and yes I was tested for milk allergies/intolerances as well as wheat and celiac disease. All negative. I've tried not eating at all, only drinking smoothies, upping my fiber, avoiding dairy, nothing works.

garlic isn't that expensive...

I meant the stool analysis ;) How much garlic should I take? And how often? I dont even know if this is a parasite or what...

I had something that looked like that in my stool last November. I found a website at the time of some parents who found that in their child's stool. Had it tested and found out it was related to Candida (yeast). I was surprised since it was orange and candida is white. However, my anxiety started improving around the same time.

One thing you could try it buy or order online (Vitacost I think has the cheapest), the North American Herb and Spice Company brand of Oil of Oregano. It kills parasites and also is a very strong antifungal for candida.

You can also put it on your feet (transdermally). It's very powerful stuff. If you take it orally, start slowly, the drops are very hot.

Another thing you could try is an antiparasitic cleanse. I just ordered Humaworm (www.humaworm.com I believe is the website if you are interested). Everyone has parasites, my husband has more symptoms than me, but he ate a lot of meat growing up, whereas my family ate meat, maybe 3 times per week, we were basically vegetarians.

I cannot find the website with the photo of the orange ball things and yeast. Mine almost looked like little grapefruit pieces, but they were orange.

take care,

Wondering if this is the picture you saw? I did a google image search and got this (looks like my pictures) and just some random info from sashasrecovery.com (website is down though). Was this it?

Yes!! I think the little boy was autistic that I had read about.

Yup, that's exactly what I saw in my stool too!

Thanks for finding the photo and posting (I don't know how to post photos yet).

[yellowlilax]

Ocean - I sent you a message - just wanted to let you know if you could read it. Thank you!!

[Ocean]

Yellowlilax,

I don't see a message yet. Will let you know if I get it =)

Ocean

Never mind, I didn't realize it would be in my e-mail..duh! Sorry, Yup I got it!!

Thats ok - I didnt even know where it went to either! I was trying to find an "inbox" and "sent items" here and just realized it might have emailed to you - thank you so much!

[The French One]

Well, that's an extreme solution but maybe you could fast a few days and take probiotics after if you've fasted a long time.
Fasting is good for healing and getting rid of parasites. Here's a link:

Good luck and I hope you'll be healthy soon.

Do you know how much this costs? I can't seem to figure out how to see pricing on the site...or do you have to be a doctor to order it?

[juliew]

Oh, and yes I was tested for milk allergies/intolerances as well as wheat and celiac disease. All negative. I've tried not eating at all, only drinking smoothies, upping my fiber, avoiding dairy, nothing works.

OMG this is what I've been saying for like months! If you figure it out, I owe you a million bucks. Try digestive enzymes with EVERYTHING you eat. It helps a little.

Hi yellowlilax ~ You may like to go here (http://renegadehealth.com/blog/) (Renegade Health) and send an email to Kevin Gianni. He has been on a months long candida cleanse and has mentioned on his videos, taking poo pics of his candida die off. (I'm being blunt, I know...)

He may be able to help you out. He's not a doctor, he's just very knowledgeable. I subscribe to his blog and enjoy his videos! *Ü*

i knoooooooooooooow. it's sooooo inexpensive and it's natural and it works!!!

add as much garlic to your day as you can stand... it'll clean you out quick as a whistle (although i don't know how quick a whistle really is...)

do it...

why take a product that costs money when you can just take garlic??? *scratches head and leaves the room baffled*

Sorry! I thought you meant to take it if it was a parasite. From searching online, I am thinking it may be candida. Does garlic work for that as well?

[yellowlilax]

googled and answered my own question - ok sounds like fresh ground garlic is the best - somewhere says to mix it in cranberry juice because both are effective...any truth to that?

i will start garlic tomorrow - my husband is going to LOVE me ;)

[Aleesha Sattva]

mix it in whatever you find yummy. i love garlic with tomato myself! (and a little ginger too)

[sbaker]

my mom went to the marshal islands and had parasite problems for over a year before they FINALLY found out it was some rare one that didn't show up on regular tests. i guess a lot of our military got it way back when they did testing out there. have you been anywhere weird? either way those tests they do don't always catch everything...she met a lady who suffered for 15 years with it before they figured out what it was, by then she had heart damage.

[yellowlilax]

we went to cancun for our honeymoon - that was sept of 2006 and we stayed on a popular resort - didnt go off the resort to anywhere weird or anything

[cc1]

Can you just buy the garlic in capsules. Do you have to eat the garlic in it's natural state to be effective? I can't imagine what I'd smell like if I ate garlic everyday.

"Using Garlic

Throwing a clove of garlic in your vegetable juice every day will be excellent for your health; nonetheless, it may reduce your social life. One clove in the juicer is enough. Five cloves will cause a life of solitude, unless you can convince all your friends, family and people within a thirty-foot radius to also take fresh raw garlic juice! A better solution is swallowing chopped garlic at night with water. It will not cause odor and will release its antibacterial agents into the colon throughout the night."

I've watched 2 raw food chefs (Ani Phyo and Rene Oswald) and both of them say that if you cut open the garlic clove (north to south) and remove the green sprout inside - you will not have bad breath. *Ü*

I wish I read this before! I just took 5 cloves of garlic and juiced them with just water and tried to chug it. I only got a couple of gulps down and had the worst stomach ache known to man. I tried to keep it down but ended up throwing it all up. Now to convince myself to even eat garlic again ...ahhhrghhh

[Veronica01]

if your body is rejecting it that badly you should not force it and think that is the only answer to cleaning yourself out. Garlic is very harsh on your digestive tract flora, maybe you could find something less harsh like upping your greens to create more healthy flora to help your immune system kill any parasites etc

[Aleesha Sattva]

5 cloves is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much. use one small one. it's more than enough and won't make you stink. i do it all the time. no one even notices.

and the green part in the centre is the medicinal part so don't get rid of it... instead drink it down like a pill (if you aren't fasting) and that'll do the trick as well. :)

[yellowlilax]

Goodness, gracious - you know what this was? ORANGES - plain old mandarin oranges. I thought that at first, but my husband convinced me that it looked nothing the same and that they wouldnt stay in those "sacs" like that. WRONG - I had it tested and its oranges. Funny I only had it when I ate them and never could pass the "parasites" any other time. haha - well, good to X parasites and candida as possibilities of my diarrhea/constipation problems lately. Just thought I'd update before anyone else saw these things in their stool and freaked!

[D'vorah]

That's awesome! :D

Deborah

[Redrocket]

I'll be sure to chew my oranges real good next time:p




I wish I would of read page three of this thread first:eek:

[iwuvmydoggy]

LOL this was funny. i'm happy it's nothing serious for you! but LOL!!!!

i was getting ready to suggest moving to korea... i love garlic... koreans eat garlic raw all the time.. they eat garlic, peppers and onions raw, and dip them in bean paste (similar to miso, but way less salty).. and that's a typical snack food. so if you ever feel like consuming copious amounts of garlic, korea is THE place, man!! no one notices, cause everyone smells the same. lol koreans also told me that when they eat garlic, it helps negate body odor. i don't know about that, but hey. :) kimchi is good for ya. :) and it's got garlic in it, too! i am definitely pro garlic!

[Aleesha Sattva]

hahahahaha ah those parasitic oranges LOL

[adiebabe]

LMAO!!! Wow....pesky oranges....and I thought only corn had that power ;)

[Mary Kay]

Oh, thanks for posting and solving the mystery.

BTW, Aleesha, I did do garlic --even put cloves up my butt, and still had a microscopic parasite. Perhaps though, you could argue I didn't do it long enough...maybe for like a week....

The raw-juice fasting accidentally got rid of mine....

Still chuckling...LOL oranges.....

[snoops]

even put cloves up my butt,



:eek:seriously:eek::eek:

[RawHeaven]

Undigested grapes?

[RawHeaven]

Goodness, gracious - you know what this was? ORANGES - plain old mandarin oranges.

Aha!

I thought it was grapes. Close.

Glad you figured it out!
