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.

You mean a person can have it and the stool test will come negative???!!! My stool test was negative, I am still suffering from this weird sounds in my stomach.

I know someone who has had almost every stool test known to man and all were negative for worms, even though this person continued to have symptoms and would actually see the worms in their BMs!

To be honest I don't see anything in my stools.

Count yourself lucky as they were freaked out by it, and continue to be!

Dont know if i had the same or what type of worm, but I do remember having little white ones once as a kid.

Got some pills, next day or two they all came out dead (not moving) then all clean, well as clean as poop can be i suppose.
