A member asked:
I had a parasite for a year and a half and been on 5 courses of antibiotics. last stool sample was negative but i still feel awful. any thoughts?

Not infected?: Maybe you aren't really infected with a parasite. That's why five course of antibiotics were required and why you don't feel better now. Would of course need to know more about the parasite, the testing methodology and symptoms.
