Severe Stomach Pains: Parasites or something else? Posted: 10-15-06 23:48pm
I am writing this for my daughter. She
has been having severe pains throughout
the stomach for months. She has always
had a sensitive stomach, lots of loose
stool. We have had every medical test run
with no success. She doubles over in pain
and can not even go to school. We saw a
Chiropractor who said he believes she has
parasites. And gave us Zymex II. We then
had a medical doctor run the test. I was
told because we already started the Zymex
that the test might not come out positive
even if she has them. We have noticed
that the pain is worse when she takes the
Zymex. (5 days on 5 days off) Its now
been almost 6 weeks. I was told it takes
time but she is in so much pain at times.
I ordered a stomach cleasing kit from Dr
Natura. I cant seem to find anyone who
understands, the doctors laugh at the
chiropracters and visa verse. We are
trying to get to a specialist but in the
mean time I dont know what to do,
Continue the Zymex, use a cleasing kit or
stop everything all together. Will these
products hurt to use. Can they cause more
problems if it is not parasites? I have
heard since they are all natural that is
should be okay to take them......
Stomach pain is not typical for intestinal
parasites except in cases of some
complications (obstructive ileus).
Intestinal parasites can be proved only if
worms or their eggs are found in a stool
sample. You can first decide either you
are going to ask for allopathic medical or
naturopathic medical help. You can ask for
allopathic medical help (western medicine)
from a gastro-enterologist or an
infectologist to examine, diagnose, and
treat your child's condition.
