Common problem: Intestinal parasites, including worms, are surprisingly common. You can ask your Dr. to order stool tests for parasites though often labs don't find them even when there. Papaya seeds are an old folk remedy that has been proven effective for intestinal worms. You can try 2 tbsp of ground papaya seeds on the next 2 full moons and next new moon; that usually works.
