Very personal...serious answers only!!! I've had loose stools since my visit!


Question: I go #2 about 2-3 x's a day now and when I go its never solid. This has been going on for 1 week since I returned from Central America. I have no other symptoms except I'm hungry a lot and I'm eating more. But, not gaining weight because I go to the bathroom all the time.

Do you think I have a tapeworm or something?

I don't have insurance so I can't afford a dr. What should I do?

Could very well be a Tapeworm.

You are going to think expensive if you do not get it taken care of. (Plus you can D-I-E)

It is likely to be because your stomach is getting used to a rich diet again.

Loose stools are very different to diarrohea- if you get diarrhoea for more than a coupld of days you need to go to the doctors.

Are you on malaria tablets?- they can give you an upset stomach- don't stop taking them if you are on them though!! :)

I had an upset stomach for 2 weeks after coming back from India- it was just my body getting used to eating crisps and pasta again :)
