A member asked:

I have food poisoning three times in three months -- could i have a parasite?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Food poisoning: Probably not food poisoning with recurrences like that, would be more concerned about inflammatory bowels disease or other colitiis, celiac sprue, or infection.
