If you have parasites do you also have candida?
This is my story. About two months ago I began to have pain in my stomach and abdomen. One day it exploded into extreme inflammation, pain, and bloating. I ended up quitting my job because I had a feeling the problem wasn't going to get better anytime soon. I just turned 20(I'm also female) and fortunately I still live at home so I don't have a major need to work. I've went through tons of bloodwork, GI studies, a CT scan, an ultrasound, and finally an endoscopy. The only thing they were able to tell me from all this was hypokalemia, to take some B-12, and the endoscopy showed gastritis. Since I have so much time on my hands I've been going mad looking stuff up on the internet for two months. I began to think it may be
parasites so I bought some herbs and began to change my diet and have been on the cleanse since the start of July. I also began experiencing hair loss and horrible pains in my knees last month. I have also experienced loss of appetite, bloating, and foul smelling discharge coming from down there, I guess that's a yeast infection? I haven't been able to weigh more than 92
pounds throughout this and at one point I even weighed 87. Thank God I look stuff up because I've been passing tons of roundworms since I started the cleanse. My appetite came back when I started it, and of course I CRAVE everything I can't eat now. I still get really bloated after I eat. Besides the herb capsules(they contain the
Wormwood ,black walnut,cloves and other stuff)I eat plenty of raw garlic, I take 3 grams of MSM, cayenne pepper capsules, and chlorella every day. I have also done a couple salt water flushes, and I passed what appeared to be liver flukes, and maybe candida flakes. The pain in my knees have almost gone away but I am still losing hair. I see a lot of posts about candida on this site as well so now I'm wondering if I have that too. I did take birth control for two years. The symptoms for
parasites and candida do overlap. This whole situation is just terrible, I feel so faint all the time that I can't even drive anymore, I would love to work again because my parents can't afford to keep buying expensive vegetables and supplements that I need to get better.But I can't work because I'm so faint and my brain is in a fog all the time. I literally can't even just go to Wal-Mart without getting major anxiety about blacking out. I just feel completely hopeless. But anyway I'm just wondering about the correlation between the two. Can
parasites cause candida? Or vice-versa? Any input is appreciated, my life has been taken from me and being confined to my parent's house and not being able to work makes me feel so far off from being 20. I had such beautiful hair and now it's just shedding everywhere. I just want my life back.
