    Thank you for all this lectures. I send a bottle in the ocean to have an answer to my concern. In 2007 I was in India for 1 year, and in the early begining of my stay probably by mistake I drunk contaminated water. My symptoms was: anorexia with some days normal appetite, rapid loose of weight, general weakness, inconfort on the bowel, no diarrhea but the stools was like inflate by air and so no formed stools and no fever. I was certain it was parasitic infection but the doctors I visit the first 2 months of symptoms was not agree with my assumptions. I ended to visit an Ayurvedic doctor who diagnosed parasitic infection but he doesn't says me what was those parasites. After on month of Ayurvedic treatment without any improvement, I quit the treatment. I spend on month more and more weak, then I visit a reputed doctor who's also diagnosed a parasitic infection but unfortunately I havent understood the name he was giving for the parasites (I'm French and at the time was less fluente in English). When he've make the palpation of my belly, he says me: do you ear this noise of walking in the snow, it's typical of... (the name of the parasites that I haven't understood). The treatment was (it's hand writting, I can't read well and I don't remeber the brands) : take first Rablet-D 7 days, after those 7 days Oflin or Ofliw T2 5 days, after those 5 days Neutradin B for 5 days, Zentel 1 night repeat after 6 weeks, and reciepe to make electrolytes.
    He warned me that it would be a "horse's treatment" (meaning strong) and that will weak me more, and it was, but after the sixth week all the symptoms have ended. Later and for years, I was notice that in hot weather my stomach was upset and my appetite low. And after approximatly 10 years this have ended.
    So, 17 years later, after a lots of researchs, I'm still looking for an answer: what was "my" parasites? If anybody have an answer it would be great. Thank you for those who've read me.

    TMI! when I was 13 I tried magic mushrooms (Psilocybe) for the first time. Long story short: my ascaris worm got as messed up as I did and I pooped it out. Went on albendazole afterward but I didn’t see any others *shrug*

    Possible the ascaris woms or other worms can be transferred from anus to urinary tract through homosexual actions similar to getting a worm from swimming in rivers and lakes, or the eggs of the parysite transferred from anal to urethra, possible eggs could migrate farther into reproductive system and hatch

      Good question! I’m not offering medical advice, but I think any of them can cause bloating. However, round worms can complete their life cycle inside the same person/host, so those can really get out of control. Stool sample and analysis is the only way to know

      My Dr. won't even test me she claims we don't get them here in the U.S. I decided to treat myself with animal antiparasitic medication and I am glad I did. I sed praziquantal, ivermectin and fenbendazole. If you are gonna do this please do your research. I also take food grade diatomaceous earth.
