Almost always have diahreah/loose stools and am getting a stool test done. im scared it could be parasitic worms. do you think it is?

Stool problems: Worms are not as common as previous years. Diarrhea and loose stools can mean colitis, irritable colon or an infection. I agree that you should checked to discover the cause. At your age a type of colitis would concern me.
