Please help me--are these parasites?

History: I have battled with bulimia for about 5 years now, with significant improvement for the last two years; all symptoms started around 2.5-3 years ago and have persisted despite improvement of eating disorder.

I have serious digestive problems

-- chronic constipation, unrelated to hardness or softness of stool; exceptionally bad spells can last 2+ weeks

--serious stomach pain (not cramping), somewhat alleviated by removing gluten and dairy from diet; pain can occur in upper, mid and lower stomach regions

--almost constant bloating and discomfort

--stomach cramping, especially when i do finally go to the bathroom

--recurring nausea, without vomiting, most often brought on by certain foods such as leafy greens

--possibly symptoms of gastroparesis (I say possibly because I took a test for gastroparesis and it came back negative; but my symptoms are not constant. Symptoms include nausea with vomiting, and I'll throw up food I ate 5-8 hours earlier)

--essentially constantly experiencing discomfort of some sort

I also have the symptoms of hypersomnia/chronic fatigue--I am currently on a high dose of stimulant to stay awake, but before I started said medication, I was sleeping anywhere from 18-20 hours daily, falling asleep anywhere including while driving, etc. Currently, on 60 mg of instant adderall, I can still take 3+ hour naps any time of day

I also have decreased memory

Because these symptoms have gone on for so long (3ish+ years) and my memory is shot, I dont know if I have altered mood etc, but I am so low energy that I am also in a low mood

I dont know how long these things have been in my stool, but for a pretty long time, seemingly more so now than, say, 6 months ago

i have had an exploratory double endoscopy (clear) and taken a test for candida (the in home stool sample-clear) and a test for helpful/harmful bacteria in the gut (clear)

I have no idea what these things are, but from my googling (which i know can often lead to false conclusions) it seems like a worm could fit. (I also have a dog who sleeps in my bed who has had fleas before)

can anyone help me!?! please im dying here
