What Have Ibs And Parasites Got In Common?

Although many people can people suffer infrequently with diarrhea or the sudden urgent need to rush to the bathroom after eating, this does not necessarily indicate a person has IBS. IBS, as well the symptoms mentioned may include abdominal pain, fatigue and tiredness, abnormal bowel habits such as constipation and diarrhea, bloating, gas or a mixture of these symptoms. One of the questions people ask about IBS is could it be caused by a virus, or is their any link between IBS and parasites?

All over the world, people are infected with parasites, they are not just a phenomenon in the developing counties, they are also prevalent in many industrialized nations like the United States. Some medical researches have suggested that people can live shorter lives of up to 3-4 years due to these parasites.

Some of the conditions believed to be caused by a parasite infection include irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, fatigue, asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome, flatulence, bloating, constipation, skin problems, itching, rashes, anorexia, and other rare diseases.

Parasites can affect the intestines, liver, circulatory system, brain, skin and other organs of the body. There are many reasons for parasite growth in the body. Deficiency of vitamins and minerals in the diet can increase the chances of parasitic infection, as generally they are kept in check by our immune response, or friendly bacteria.

A diet with high carbohydrate and alkaline contents and low proteins can create an environment that is beneficial to a parasitic infection. This type of diet can also trigger some IBS symptoms.

Parasites, apart from other factors, are considered as one of the main potential causes of irritable bowel syndrome, which affects the large intestine and has become a common health disorder in many countries.

Diagnosing the disease in a patient involves going through their medical history, performing a full physical examination, and obtaining lab test reports to test for infection.

The history and physical examination generally dictate the lab tests that should be taken. However, testing for parasites via stool samples is not a very reliable solution, unless the patient has acute parasite infection. The standard medical tests have limited capability in determining parasite infection. Only about five percent of the known varieties of parasites can be tested with laboratory testing. Moreover, these tests are not very accurate.

If you are also suffering from irritable bowel syndrome symptoms and believe that these symptoms are due to the parasitic infection, you have a number of options, including changing your diet to create an environment that promotes good intestinal health, and suppress the bacteria.

For killing the parasites there are effective medication, and herbal cleansing products, natural foods, and essential oils that have been shown to be effective. A nutritional detox and rejuvenation program might be helpful in balancing and restoring the immune system and getting rid of parasites.
