A member asked:
Can low appetite alone be attributed to parasite infection? cbc normal,no pain,no diarrhea,no nausea,occasional mild abdominal fullness after eating.

No: The diagnosis is usually made by using stool analysis for ova and parasites. Loss of appetite is a symptom in many medical illnesses and the stool analysis is quite specific.

No: Your description may suggest constipation or emotional issues rather parasite infection. See a doctor for evaluation
