Experiencing Chronic Constipation
by Penny
(Michigan)
Could my boyfriend and I both have intestinal parasites?
I have been experiencing chronic constipation. I can't seem to go unless I use a laxative. I am very tired all the time. I have severe itching on my neck, scalp, shoulders, the crease of my arm and sometimes my anus.
After I eat, I feel like I get very bloated and full. I have stopped passing any gas. I have energy crashes throughout the day.
Sometimes after I eat I have a lot of like little bubble noises. I have treated myself as if this was a yeast infection in the gut.
My boyfriend has bouts of diarrhea. He also is very tired much of the time. He complains of itching around the anus. He also complains about feeling bloated and after he eats there is a lot of digestive gurgles and bubbles.
Do you think we might have intestinal parasites causing these problems?
Thanks,
Penny
Dear Penny,
Yes, it really does sound like both you and your boyfriend are suffering from intestinal parasites.
Whether it is from Candida (yeast overgrowth) alone or in addition to other types of parasites, I can't say for sure, but the symptoms you describe fit the bill.
To remedy the situation, both you and your boyfriend need to undergo a proper digestive parasite cleanse. If only one of you undertake the cleanse, you are most likely going to pass the problem back and forth.
The best method for you to proceed (in my opinion) is to get
Herbal Fiberblend and
Florafood. If you can afford it, I would also get some
AIMega and
Barley Life.
You will take the Herbal Fiberblend twice per day, starting with 1 tsp. at a time. You'll gradually increase the amount to
2 teaspoons and then to 1 nice heaped tablespoon (twice per day).
Follow that protocol for 2-3 months and you should find that you will no longer be experiencing chronic constipation and the other symptoms will disappear, too.
The Florafood is a combination of 3 probiotics (good bacteria) that will replenish your intestinal flora and help keep Candida in check. You'll take them at a different time of day (with meals) and that should also help eliminate the bloated feeling as it aids in your digestion.
The reason I also suggested the AIMega and the BarleyLife is because of your comments regarding the various skin irritations and the fatigue. These should both boost your immune system and provide you with the nutritional support that your body is craving.
The truth is, you will probably stop experiencing chronic constipation fairly quickly, but DO continue on with the HFB cleanse because you want to be sure that you thoroughly eliminate parasites and old impacted fecal matter that may be lining your intestines.
You definitely don't want to be dependent upon laxatives for regularity. You may think that you will become dependent upon HFB, but although many people do use it daily for years as a maintenance program, you will be able to wean yourself off of it gradually just as you started it.
Your body will need to adjust to the in crease of and then decrease of fiber so that's why you take it in stages.
I also encourage you both to cut out the sweets and carbs for a few weeks, just to help get everything under control. You'll get better results faster if you give your body a break from sugar and processed foods.
Hope that helps and that you both feel great again soon.
Blessings,
Angie
