more..
I'm not really convinced it is parasites, I am going back to the health center to speak to my doctor again before I decide how to proceed (also getting another lab done just to be safe). I'm not down to spend $$ on things like Miracle-Mineral-Supplement (which seems to be potentially harsh) or other potential fixes without first knowing what I'm trying to fix. If it's bacterial versus parasitic, that's a big difference...narrowing it down will hopefully help.
however, I have started taking glutamine just to try and give my gut some extra strength against whatever it's fighting!
Thank you all for the advice, I will continue updating as I go along...
