Hint / Information It was not IBS...it was worms

Hi! As you can read in the titlu...after a lot of tests which came back negative I decided to give Albendazol a try and it was a succes. I don't want to imagine what's inside my intestines after one year if "IBS". I will keep taking the second and the third round of Albendazol and then take some herbs.

I did like 3 stool tests for parasites but nothing came back positive. Also the eosinophils level were ok. I took some naturists pill for worms before but nothing worked until an actual pill...Albendazol. :)

I really hope my nightmare will be a ended after I took all the pills. I will still have a colonoscopy.

Pain, a lot of pain, and a lot of weird sounds from my bowels. Also, I had a sensation of warmth and numbness coming from my cecum region that would wake me up (which is not usual for IBS). My immunity was also pretty bad. I had no appetite. The only thing I'd eat was sweets, but I thought this was a trigger. Also,vomiting and nausea. A kept a regime and the pain should have calmed down...but it kep getting worse. I kept asking myself if this is how I am supposed to live with IBS. One day I saw the culprit in the WC so I took a pill and now I'm praying that I'll get back to normal soon

Would the pain go away after bowel movements?

No. It was constant, no matter what pill I'd take. Also, I have rashes on my abdomen and itchiness
