WOW!...you're a real trooper, Tracey! No way would I have downed the ES after throwing up once...let alone twice! Sounds like you got pretty good results nevertheless. The 'ribbon' you're describing sounds like it could have been a tapeworm...did the dark spots run down the middle of it? My seed thingies were almost clear and I'm pretty sure they were parasite eggs...maybe yours were, too. And I know Southern Belle described her fluke as looking mushroom-like...maybe?!
Glad to hear you're feeling good after going through all that! ; )
