Sambu and Sexymama,

I don't know anything for sure, at all, but I think the 'corn' pieces are some kind of small Tapeworm pieces.

Guessing, perhaps your good efforts have dislodged them.

I also had some kidney/adrenal achey periods (hours) while on Humaworm parasite cleanse. At first I thought they were symptoms of a real kidney/adrenal problem, until I realized that they disappeared after bowel movements, however inadequate those may have been.

More recently I have added crumbled dried kelp and whole flax seeds to my veggie and eggs breakfast, daily, and noticed an improvement...the achey periods have stopped, even though my BM's are still not adequate. (They were smoothed, at first, but have now become more sluggish once more. Perhaps it is that the hemp hearts I included, at first, have run out.)

I have a couple of sneaky suspicions...

...We are dealing here with the whole digestive system, and,

...Bile and pancreatic juices play a huge part in good bowel functioning.

I even venture to guess that many 'constrictions', even emotional ones, may show up as bathroom difficulties.

Every few days something Aha! about my past feelings occurs to me, but the slowness is still with me.

Urinary problems, too. In fact, it was the urinary problems that started my journey.

Last year I ate Watermelon daily during the season, crunching the seeds. I saved all the seeds others didn't eat, and could grind them in a coffee grinder, for tea.

The 'sharpness' of urinary 'gravel' that I felt sometimes, for years, has disappeared, while I saw small red 'snippets' of 'threads', a quarter of an inch long, in my urine, a few times during parasite cleansing, and once one piece about a half inch long...they were very dead, but I thought they were some kind of urinary parasite.

I've also seen many tiny black specks, as well.

These were only visible in a chamber pot, when I used one a few times. Don't know what I've missed in the toilet.

Still, the urinary 'urgency' I began with, plagues me. IP6, the polishings from brown rice, helped me for a while, as did switching most of my starches to brown rice, instead of wheat.

Now I am looking into Leptin Resistance (there is a forum) for clues on all-over diet.

I hope there are some good hints here for you both. Kidney or bladder difficulties can be quite worrisome.

My best,

Fledgling
