Stomach Discomfort, Foul Smelling & Loose Stool. Will Stool Sample Test Help Diagnosis And Decide Treatment?
Symptoms:
For the past 2weeks i have been experiencing stomach uncomfy ,crampy, gurgling,gassy, foul smelling loose and regular stool. For the past two months I have been eating whole and healthy foods and have taken a probiotic daily as well as drinking lemon water. My research is telling me I have a parasite. Can a stool sample define the parasite and appropriate medicine? Do parasite cleanses work? Love to hear your professional opinion.

Dear Friend.
Since you are eating healthy and good food, it shouldn't bring a infection in you.
But you never know, from where these tiny bacterias, parasites take entry and harbours in out intestines.
Try to notice , if you are having this kind of problem only after a particular type of meal? See, sometimes our intestine is allergic to a particular type of food , leading to these symptoms.
Do notice, if you have these symptoms after consumption of milk or milk products or pro-biotic you are taking.
If you get a doubt on something, stop that something and notice what happens.
And, yes, your stool test may tell you , if you are carrying an infection or a parasite.
and we can easily treat you for them.
Catch us again with your stool report and answers of my questions.
