Re: Advice on what to do next?? :(

I had an Ascaris(roundworm) infection a few years ago and it caused me great constipation, and never any diarrhea. I have not heard others say they had diarrhea with it, just constipation. I guess it might theoretically be possible to have diarrhea with it, however it doesn't seem to be common. The shortness of breath is very common with it. So is the nausea and abdominal pain. If you never had shortness of breath, then it is unlikely that it is ascaris.

Amebas, giardia, and crypto cause diarrhea almost all the time. Bacteria and viruses often cause diarrhea.
