Intestinal Parasites



Recommended Posts

I've read some threads on here regarding colon cleansing and figured this might be the right place to ask.

I think that a lot of people (including me) have intestinal worms and don't know it. I'm too embarassed to ask a doctor and think I might want to try a do-it-yourself home remedy treatment.

Do any of you know much about this topic and how to treat oneself at home? :embarassed:

Thanks!

it is called Colonix by Drnatura .com - supposedly it gets rid of intestinal parasites, etc. I am on my first week of a 2 month colon cleansing. Check out the website it is pretty informative. I will keep you posted on how it is going & if it is worth it.

I have done a colon cleanse twice now. I am someone who suffers from Constipation terribly so I knew I was backed up. I did alot of research and found something I thought would work. It is absolutely awesome stuff, its true you get rid of things you havent eaten in months....not that I was examining it, but they did say to keep an eye on it:)

Its called OXY powder...check it out and see if its what your looking for.

I just started the Colonix program. I asked them if having Lapband was ok, and they told me yes. I hope this is correct. My husband says, the powder you mix with liquid should go right thru. I haven't had a fill yet, so the capsules go down without a problem. I will finish my first kit right before I get my first fill. If anyone is doing this, I would love to hear from you to see if there are any side effects conected to the Lapband.

Hunny, health food stores will have parasite programs. They usually involve herbs like wormwood and cloves.

If I remember correctly, you have to take quite a few capsules of them for about a month.

If you have worms you can also google this. There will be plenty of information, including solutions, about this problem on line. But, as for the best way to clean out your intestines, I suspect that it is the stuff they require you to take at home before a colonoscopy. That stuff will certainly empty you out! And you don't need a prescription. Just go to your pharmacist and ask him/her. It might not get rid of worms, though. They might have a way of embedding themselves in the bowel lining. Do google for more info. And good luck with this problem.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
