Before I was diagnosed two years ago the doctors here thought for sure it was a parasite, especially since I travel a lot in the tropics and jungles in SE Asia and ate a lot of of strange stuff. All sorts of tests and samples and nothing was found. Finally they came up with celiac after 6 months, went 100% gluten free and no more problems since. Sometimes I think lingering effects are from hidden gluten we still get by accident.

Has anyone on here been diagnosed with a parasite(s) and if so did you feel better once the parasite was gone. Also what kind of parasite or worm was found. I am having a test done by Biohealth (full GI pathogen panel) and would like to know if a parasite can really be what is hindering me from getting well. Thanks
