Parasites After Eating Out

[Buhle]

I went to visit a friend in another town, we ate at a small roadside place. food tasted fine but few days later my stomach started to act strange. cramps here and there, too much gas, sometimes sharp pain then it goes away. i thought maybe just food poisoning but weeks later same thing kept happening. even when i eat clean at home it still shows up. one night i felt something moving like rolling inside my belly and it scared me. i started thinking maybe it’s parasites. i tried garlic tea and pumpkin seeds like people say but nothing really changed. now i’m stuck wondering do i go for stool test at clinic or keep trying natural stuff. anyone else ever deal with this? what worked to finally get rid of it?

I had something close to that after a trip. Stomach would not stay calm, gas all the time, pain shifting sides. I also thought maybe just food but when it kept dragging on I started to think worms or parasites too. Tried home things like papaya seeds and bitter herbs, felt some relief but not full. Finally did stool check and they found something, got meds from doctor and only then it cleared. Natural things help but if it stays long better to get tested so you know what you fight.
Did your symptoms get worse at night or after meals?

Last year after eating out a few times I started getting stomach cramps and thought it was just food gone bad. days turned into weeks and it kept showing up even when i cooked at home. The bloating and gas were the worst, some nights i felt like something moving inside and it freaked me out. Home tricks too, garlic, neem water, pumpkin seeds, even fasting for a day, but nothing really settled it. finally i gave up and went for a test at the clinic, they confirmed it was parasites and gave me meds. after that I felt normal again. I wonder if i had waited longer it could have gotten worse.
Did you notice if yours flares up more at night or in the mornings?

after a trip, kept blaming it on food poisoning but the stomach never settled. one day it’s cramps, next day gas and weird heaviness like something shifting around inside. Pumpkin seeds, some herbs, but the problem always circled back. Only when i finally gave a sample at the clinic they told me it was parasites and gave me proper tablets, that’s when it really cleared up. The waiting and guessing was worse than the treatment. Do you also notice appetite changing or sudden nausea when it flares?
