Worms are gone. I took antibiotics for the bacterial overgrowth. The suggested diet was to cut out starches, grains, sugar, beans, soy, fruit and raw veggies. When I've actually followed the diet, I've felt pretty good. I just don't like the diet. I started getting Bowen treatments again. I like it, but I miss chiro. I need to start doing both. Hamstrings hurt. Don't sleep well. Tired. Grumpy. Sad.

I finished the first round of mebendazole for the ol' hookworm. I'll try a second round in a few weeks. It went pretty well. I was super tired, I don't know if that was the drugs or just because. I was hoping to see something. I don't know, like a worm or something. I think the best thing about discovering you have worms would be to see the worms exit the body. Oh well. Maybe there's still time for that.

I started the deworming process. Nothing too disgusting to report.

I have a parasite!

So I sent my poop by fed-ex, and I will meet with my nd in a couple weeks to talk about the results. I held onto gluten until Jan 19th. I had one more blood test but haven't heard back yet. I decided that it was time to cleanse. I started the master cleanse on Saturday. Today is only Monday, but I hate it and I'm stopping it. I had some serious GI trauma Sunday morning. Today I mostly feel like my intestines are on fire. My plan is to fast for a day or two and then get on with my life.

In July, I went a little crazy (surprise) and I decided that it was time to get a diagnosis of some sort. So I started eating gluten again. It was terrible. I got some blood work done and it all came back fine. Awesome. I decided to continue with the diet until I get something figured out. I saw a new ND last Monday. He was a good time. I ended up paying $650 to send my crap to the states by fedex. At least it's a good story. So far, no diagnosis. I just want to know what is happening in my body.

On Tuesday I felt so terrible, I thought of posting "I...feel...terrible". But I felt too terrible to post. I had a SPLITTING headache. It hit me in waves and I couldn't even speak. It was awful. I also had a lot of cramping. Fun. Since then I've been feeling okay. Today, I've had to run to the bathroom a number of times, but I feel really good. And I had stool that looked like a seahorse! A SEAHORSE!
