A member asked:

Been taking 2 tsp coconut oil dayx3 days today huge amounts of worms coming out feel terribly sick. any advice please to calm sickness.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stop: There is no need to take straight oil orally (coconut or others). This will cause a increased upset stomach and diarrhea from the oil transiting the intestines. You can try Pepto Bismol or Imodium (loperamide) for the diarrhea. If these do not help please see your doctor.
