Parasites in diaper?! Please help!
Please help me identify whether
parasites are possible or if I'm just becoming a bit looney!
For the record, I've suspected
parasites for myself, so lately I've made some diet changes. My son has eaten these things along with me and I only feed him home cooked meals.
Lately, we've eaten more pineapple, raw garlic in hummus, papaya, coconut oil, turmeric, cayenne pepper and other spices, and adding a little apple cider vinegar to our juice.
The past 5 days he doesn't want anything to eat! Just crackers which makes me suspicious because these blood hounds love carbs. The doctor saw a blister in the back of his throat and swabbed it: negative for strep. She believed it to be a virus and sent us home. I mentioned weird poo but we didn't have any with us. (Who carries that around with them anyway?!)
So fast forward. Today he will finally take papaya and his diaper is full of these little creatures that can easily be assumed to be undigested food (like papaya). So I slipped on gloves to smear it. The pieces are not soft like papaya at all, they're actually very tough (like soft cucumber flesh maybe??) they vary in color but appear to be similar in shape (oblong). Might they be flukes?? Also there are a few VERY ARMY GREEN COLORED small pieces (from bile?).
I was in hong king right before i became pregnant and I did eat sushi; i certainly have many vague, undiagnosable conditions that fall under this category. I'm uncertain whether I may have given them to him in the womb.. (He also had jaundice-NOT from blood type incompatibility- which is from a liver issue.. Coincidence?)
For those who wish to spare themselves the visual, I'm NOT attaching a thumbnail pic. Instead, the links to the photos are below if you dare to peak.
Update:: the link DOES actually display the image; SORRY! Bypass it if you care not to see it and maybe message me directly
Can anyone help identify these things please? Or do I just need more sleep???!
Thanks guys!
