Bloating / Gas - parasite question

[Guest guest]

Hi:Just wondering if anyone else with CD has this problem, and if so, what have you done to treat it and ride yourself of it.Since having my daughter (within 3 years) and trying to remain gluten-free, I was told at one point, I had develop an overgrowth of some parasite in my small intestines. I didn't know it at the time, and it seemed like *everything* I was eating was making me boated, gain weight, and created a lot of gas (internal and external), and some stomach pains.It seemed nothing I did could get ride of this problem, and it only got worse.I was finally given something to kill the "parasite overgrowth" through Health Now Medical Center, it seemed to work...I could eat *everything* (including diary) and not get bloated. It was *heaven*. I felt

NORMAL!But, I think it's since come back. Gezuz. What IS IT? What triggers it? How can I get ride of it forever? I know all of my doctors will tell me I cannot be on that medication forever because it kills all bacteria in the gut (good and bad).What to do?If I cut out all foods that "feed" this parasite (or whatever it is), I'm down to super bland, neutral foods like brown rice and potatoes 24/7. *sigh*. I can't live like this.Anyone else with CD have this problem? Louise
