Has anyone found out that they have parasites. Studies have shown that most Americans have some form, they just do not know it.

My question(I guess this could lead to a discussion as well) Do you know you have them?
Were they obvious?
Diagnosed by a doctor or yourself?(many tests drs do come back inconclusive)
What did you do to rid yourselves of them?

I am by no means trying to blame weight on possibly having them. Which could be cause by malnutrition. BUT I do have an odd bloated stomach often enough(like upper stomach, right under ribs), and a few other symptoms as well. (thought I was gluten intolerant at first, which was negative)


Please share your experience with me!!!
Thanks

    I just checked, and i have leeches. I was going to pull them off, but I figure they don't drink much and they make great fish bait when they get bigger, so i think I will just keep them.
