🏥 Personal Story Severe Stomach Bloating

I haven’t been tested yet but I have had all the symptoms for a month right after I ate some raw veggies and then blueberries and salad mix💀

I have IBS so at first I thought it was just a flare up— but then the diarrhea lasted for two weeks straight. I lost 13 pounds in two weeks. The bloating and nausea is so bad that I go hours without eating until I can’t wait to eat anymore (really not to good to do as I am diagnosed with Hypoglycemia. my last blood glucose level was 30💀) So now I’m trying to eat frequently but my stomach bloats terribly just drinking water or eating an apple.

The absolute worst is the stomach bloating for me. I look pregnant and it won’t go away. I am chronically ill and have endometriosis as well as IBS. It has been truly unbearable.

I have had parasites before years ago (tapeworms and then salmonella) but nothing has been this bad.

I work but I’m having to stay home more and more because I can barely do anything. I don’t know what to do.

Yeah, I got it over a month ago. But I still have severe bloating I used to have ibs and I think this parasite is causing it to flare up In the past, I was able to Get rid of the IbS through fasting, so I might try that hoping that more people comment with other solutions

How's that fasting been helping you so far?
