Looking for cysts?: Your brain MRI has nothing to do with strawberries in ecuador. Bacterial infestations like e. Coli or campylobacter would cause GI symptoms first -- and this should resolve before 4 years! depending on the locale and possible exposure to animal feces, parasitic infections are possible. Eggs/cysts from these organisms may be present but not in brain. It sounds like you're well overall.

Fine: Most commonly, any issues related to eating "bad food" would be experienced relatively close to the actual time of consumption. Being that you ate unwashed strawberries over 4 years ago, you should be fine.
