Re: How did you find out you had a parasite?

Thank you for your reply.
I have been doing everything I can to prevent reinfection, I'm constantly washing my hands and under my fingernails..even in the shower as silly as it sounds. However, my room mate is in denial about maybe having parasites. She got a stool sample done and it came out negative, but I am not totally convinced that she is parasite free. She recently got diagnosed with GERD after having problems with bloating, gas, heartburn, and acid reflux..but I suspect some of her problems may be from parasites and not acid reflux alone..as I had or have parasites (not sure what kind though..guessing it was roundworm). I am afraid that if my parasites are gone, I may be reinfected if she is not treated.
I may have celiac, been having the symptoms of it. I'm working on getting to a GI doctor to confirm this.
I make sure my pets are treated. They all have been on monthly flea/worm treatment for months now.
I realize that I'm less likely to reinfect myself if I only eat cooked foods..but I have been told that it is unhealthy not to eat raw fruits and vegetables..? I have not had any for awhile now though..I've become quite fearful of getting reinfected with something.
