Do you have any other symptoms on that day or other days (bloating, mucus in the stool, pale skin, lightheadedness...)? Regarding it occurs in a period-like pattern, I strongly recommend you to discuss this with your gynecologist. Annie,

I am currently 19 weeks pregnant (may be irrelevent) and for the past 5 months i am having diarrhea exactly 27 days apart. Do you think this could be parasitic because of pregnancy or something else? hi, Not sure if you can help me.

All negative except the two worms. I don't currently plan to get the ova & parasites checked again. I'll be seeing the gastroenterologist in a few months for my regular screening and I'll ask about all this. I was close to going to a gastroenterologist, but I did this special lab's test with my D.O. instead. Then I was able to get to feeling better via diet and supplements. Thanks for your help!

It's important that you put all your symptoms (old and new ones) in an exact time line to see what happens in about the same time. For you, it is then enough, if you see that symptoms are connected in time and reveal their exact time course to the doctor. Then, they're only investigations of the brain and the bowel (stool) that can show what is an actual connection between the symptoms. Intestinal infection with Tenia solium, followed by neurocysticercosis are two phases of the same infection, which occur at different times, but could overlap...Another possibility is that the stress from abdominal symptoms trigger seizures. I think you should see your abdominal and neurological symptoms as two problems and have tests for both - then you will see, are they from the same cause or not.

I feel that health of my intestine/digestive system is directly associated with the frequency and timing of these seizures. The seizures necessarily occur when I am feeling unusual/bloated in the tummy area. I mentioned this to my doc and he does not seem to agree to this. Can you advise on this?

The seizures necessarily occur when I am feeling unusual/bloated in the tummy area.

I mentioned this to my doc and he does not seem to agree to this.

Can you advise on this?

Weight loss, diarrhea, mucus or blood in the stool are additional symptoms that may appear or not. Apart from intestinal worms, infection with other parasites like giardia can result in about the same smptoms. I guess, you will want to have a stool test for "ova and parasites". If tests will be negative, consider: - small intestinal bacterial overgrowth SIBO) - especially if you experience early satiety. http://www.healthhype.com/small-intestinal-bacterial-overgrowth-symptoms-treatment.html Sunny,

I guess I will see my doc again. Just another query. I feel that my craving for food has increased in last 2 weeks or so. I feel a little bloated with constant burping. It is about the same time for which I have been feeling the symptoms. Are the two associated? Thanks for your advice Jan. I guess I will see my doc again.

Repeated treatment is possible, but you should inform your doctor about this and also ask for probiotics Saccharomyces boulardii to prevent antibiotic associated diarrhea. Sunny,

Since then I have been under medication. I took a course of albendazol which my doc recommended. I could feel the benifit and was ok for a long time. I am consuming eptoin everyday. These days I feel that infection has found its way back and can feel the symptoms. I understand this may be due to a worm infection in my intestine again? Is there a way with which I can get rid of worms in the intestine. Can I consume Albendazol again? Thanks for all the help. Hi Jan,
