Hello doctor, I am a type 1 diabetic and I suffered chronic diarrhea for the past 10 years. Finally, the doctor found tape worms, and eggs in the stool. I had several rounds of praziquantel, last round was 2 weeks ago with 650 mg per day with a break in between. I took supplements of all kinds, and now colonics. I am still passing worms. I have improvements in health, pain, and girth around my stomach also improved but I am frustrated. I cannot seem to get rid of it. Please help.
Hello. I suppose you must give a brief history of the nature of your diarrhea. Like mostly it is oily and malodorous, watery or gassy? Does it have any relation to meals? Do you feel any abdominal pain, fever, or itching at the anal area? Do you ever have a low Hb? Any loss of weight? What type of worms did you notice on the stool R/E report? And most importantly, is your diabetes controlled? Worm infestation. Complete blood count. Stool routine examination. Diabetic diarrhea. Drink boiled water (after cooling). Personal hand hygiene.
