I actually went in for a stool test, but it came back negative.
I’ve got all the symptoms, though
nothing really hits the spot like eggs or fries.
The thing is, doctors don't seem to know much about this since it isn't exactly a common illness.

Hey,
I just finished using one of those pill camera capsules—you know, the ones you swallow on an empty stomach to film everything inside.

- It turns out I have a ton of parasites in my small intestine right near my kidneys.

Afterward, I went in for an X-ray, and this was the doctor's finding:
The kidney contours are obscured by intestinal shadows.

Those intestinal shadows basically mean a massive pile of parasites.

I spent a few months traveling through India, eating questionable food and stuff like that.

What should my next move be regarding getting into a hospital (and which hospital should I look for?)
because I’m honestly looking to just have them surgically removed.

I have all the documentation right here in front of me, so what should I do? Who should I reach out to? Any help would be appreciated.

I guess I could use a little help if anyone's free.
I guess I've got some bleeding in my small intestine, but there's nothing a colonoscopy or anything like that can do to help me.

I've got this pain right in the middle of my stomach, where the small intestine is, I guess.

How do you actually get that capsule with the camera?

I went to see my primary care doctor, but they weren't really up to speed on what's going on.
They basically told me I was just imagining things...

I'm wondering, can an abdominal X-ray actually pick up a worm if it's about the size of a thumb?

I spent about six months traveling through India and lived off street food.
Because of that, I ended up picking up some parasites or worms in my stomach.

I think they're hanging out in my small intestine. Any idea what I should do?



I've seen a few videos where they actually surgically remove them, but those were filmed in the US.
What should I do? I feel like I have all the symptoms.
