I have had problems with my health for a long time: acne, bloating, insomnia, irritability, etc.. but about 8 months ago after a very stressful time it got a lot worse. I went out to stay at my parents farm and got really sick, my stool turned yellow and has stayed that way since. I've seen so many doctors and have been seeing a naturopath as well, and they did a SIBO test, I followed the protocol very strictly and my test came back negative but they decided to treat me for it anyway. The diet has not done much for me, I do get some relief from not eating
Sugar and grains, but I never thought my symptoms seemed to line up with SIBO much and my friend suggested that it could be a
parasite instead. Here are my symptoms;
- undigested food in stools
- abdominal pain that comes and goes and doesn't seem linked to food
- low grade fever that comes and goes
- loose stools but chronically constipated
- yellow/orange stool
- weight loss
- b12 and iron deficiency that doesn't really respond to medication
- extremely itchy nose and ears (especially at night)
- muscle aches and joint pain
- insomnia and waking up many times through the night
- fatigued and always have very dark circles under eyes
- bloating and occasional reflux
- asthma symptoms
- chronic yeast infections
- sore jaw and grinding teeth
- dizziness
- rashes that come and go
- gurgly feeling after food
-
Acne all over my body (have never had this before)
I have had many tests that have always come back normal. X-rays, CT scan, bloods and stools, breath tests, thyroid, liver and kidney function, you name it. I seem perfectly healthy, but I am not. 🤷🏻♀️
