Possible Worm In Stool. Urgent? Posted: 08-27-07 07:13am
I noticed last night that there was a
long, slender, flat, white/beige thing
with a line down the middle in my stool,
I couldn't think of anything that it could
be other than a worm. Back in February, I
was seeing a GI doctor for stomach
problems and they ran a stool test. They
couldn't find anything. I also had a
colonoscopy done which didn't find
anything, and an upper GI/small bowel
tests which found a small ulcer, GERD, and
a hiatal hernia. I've battled stomach
problems all my life. I've recently made
another appointment with my GI doctor for
September the 10th. If this was a worm,
should I see someone urgently or can I
wait until the 10th? What other
possibilities could it be?
Thank you in advance,
Crystal

If it is a parasite it could be causing
the stomach problems that you stated.
Parasites come in different shapes and
sizes and some aren't detectable by
testing.
You can also consult with a naturopath who
will help you with your situation in
checking what you're eating and adjusting
your diet to help you. More than likely
the naturopath will recommend a cleanse to
eliminate any parasites. A great cleanse
that I am using each year is colonix by
drnatura. You can check out their site for
more information about parasites and the
side effects etc.
Go to your doctor - if you don't get
answers go seek out a naturopath.
Good luck - keep us posted on your
progress.
