I guess this is it...

I've been constipated for a year now, and have been fighting to figure it out. I really didn't want to give much thought or energy into the thought of parasites....I started a candida diet, and pills to kill candida, thinking that must be it, because I've always felt better without starch or sugar...still all backed up. I don't know what I did different, but last night the worst I could have imagined was realized, and I am pretty confident I found an Ascaris in my stool.

So now, I guess I go this route... I bought some Wormwood /black walnut/quassia/cloves/male fern root and cinnamon. I will start the garlic and cayenne with it as well, but I really can't eat so much garlic that I smell of it, can someone tell me a reasonalbe amount that won't keep my husband out of bed with me (can you believe it, he's Italian and doesn't care much for garlic)?

I'm already finding myself in a place where I eat less and less, weather it's fear that I'll feel the pain, or a side effect of the worms, I used to have a decent appetite, but now I just feel like food is my enemy. I'd take any advice anyone has to share...
