This is what was in my baby's diaper. Are these worms?

Yicks! I have no idea what these might be but has she eaten any fruit with skin, i.e., blueberries--not that these are blue--but something along those lines?
Sorry I can't offer more help.
I hope someone comes along who can give you a proper answer.
Posted by feelfit (Member # 12770) on :
After reading your other post, seeing that your baby is only on breast milk, and that her stools are also mucousy, I would have to say those certainly look like some of the worm pictures that I have seen.
Mucous in the stool is a fairly good indicator of parasites from what I have read.
Save these pictures. Did you keep the wormy things? I would do that too.
Good luck, Feelfit
Posted by glm1111 (Member # 16556) on :
They sure look like worms to me. Save the worms if you can. Poor baby. If you see them again or if she starts getting sick, call your new pediatrician and insist on bringing her in right away,

Holly, I'm certainly no expert (or even close ) but those look like worms to me.
Trust your instincts as a mother. If your baby seems sick, insist on further exploration of reasons.

Post these pics on the Hulda Clarke colon and liver clense site. There are some experts on worms etc there that can help you.
Posted by tickbattler (Member # 14873) on :
Those look like worms from other pictures I have seen. I would definitely look into this.
I hope your little one feels better soon.

We're about 5 minutes from someone going A-Wall here and getting so mad about these disgusting pics and reporting to the moderators. lol. I tried something like this and people went CRAZY and I was warned. Apparently some don't have the stomach. They look like worms to me. Posted by glm1111 (Member # 16556) on :
The difference is that she states " Warning Graphic Pictures" on the post. If someone looks that is offended it's their choice and on them.
It's time to stop the denial and take a look at what is playing a MAJOR part in this disease. Photos like this and the one you posted seek can be valuable learning tools.
P. S. the old saying "A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words" could certainly apply.

I'm 12 days into Humaworm Gael. I'm trying. It's been tough on me. I wonder if I really do herx on this stuff. It's tough to say it this herbal mix can really do this or if it's my Abx.
Posted by glm1111 (Member # 16556) on :
It's hard to tell what's doing what when you're taking other meds. I can tell you that I have definitely herxed on the Humaworm. I was getting drenching sweats a couple of hours after I took it for the first couple weeks.
I haven't had that symptom in a very long time. I think if you take something new and start getting different symptoms that would be a pretty good indication of what's causing the herx.
Another person I have been in touch with said 3 days into it saw black marble looking things in the toilet. Probably stones from the gallbladder or liver.
You're a trooper seek, and I commend you for trying it again. Please don't give up if you don't see anything this time. If the infection is deep, it can take a while.
Just keep going and try and do the "other cleanses". The rewards are great when these creatures finally exit.

Posted by HollyS (Member # 20550) on :
Nope...she hadn't eaten anything. She just hit 6 months old today and isn't on solids yet. She is exclusively breastfed.
She has a lot of allergies/sensitivities to foods that I eat; gluten, dairy, strawberries, bananas and tomatoes.
She also has a lot of mucus in her poo. She has had a few bouts of vomiting too.
I fired her current pediatrician because they completely blew me off with all this. The new office seems genuinely concerned. They want me to journal and continue to take pics of her poo.
I have an appointment in two weeks but if her symptoms appear again then that is when they want to see her. They would rather see her when she is sick to better asses the situation. I am ok with that.
Posted by springshowers (Member # 19863) on :
Oh My.. Those look just like the ones on Lymephotos. The ones that look chain linked kinda. Forgot which ones but . wow wow. I would make sure you get to a doctor and show them to them. Keep them in a jar or something.
I have seen those posted here before.
Posted by HollyS (Member # 20550) on :
Unfortunately I didn't save any of the worms or her diapers. I really didn't know what to do at the time. I'm glad I at least took pictures.
When I did her stool test I made sure the sample included some of the worms. It still came back as negative. How can that be?
springshowers...you mean someone else posted something like this? Do you remember who? I would love to find out what their tests revealed.
Posted by Blackstone (Member # 9453) on :
If you see those again, save them, take them to a physician preferably a parasitologist. They will be able to distinguish if they are worms or something else entirely.
Aside from that I can't give a lot of help as I don't do pediatrics.
Posted by bettyg (Member # 6147) on :
holly,
were you the one who east FRESH SUCHI on a regular basis and have for YEARS?
speculation here ... but could the worms in you have gone to your baby congenitally?
i don't know anything about this, but just my gut reaction from seeing the photos & thinking you posted about loving to eat fresh sushi today. Posted by lymebytes (Member # 11830) on :
Yes, those are parasites. I would show them to your doctor asap.
lymebytes, i did show the images to her dr. and she blew me off. I have since fired her and have an appointment with a new pediatrician.
Yes bettyg, I love sushi. I don't eat it on a regular basis only because it is so expensive.
I did eat some a few occasions while I was pregnant though.
Posted by glm1111 (Member # 16556) on :
Holly..
Here are the photos springshowers is referring to. I had EXACTLY the same thing come pouring out of me in the toilet several yrs ago when I started taking antiparasitics.
I am not suggesting you give your baby salt/c. Just wanted you to see the photos that look just like your babys. I keep posting that Parasites and worms play a MAJOR part in Lyme disease.
I keep getting pms from people who are having the same experience. They said they never would have believed it if they didn't see it for themselves. You should consider treating yourself for these. Your baby probably got these in utero,

I would take it to my vet. Since they seem to know more than most docs about these things.
Posted by tickbattler (Member # 14873) on :
I know an 18 month old who had tummy aches a lot and also a lot of food sensitivities and they discovered she had some kind of parasite (from swimming in a lake). They gave her Alinia and that cleared it up.
Not sure if babies can take it or if it would help with worms, but it might be worth looking into.

Posted by mojoe128 (Member # 20182) on :
Yea i have been to both of those sites.
I still have yet to find a straight/definite answer.
Seems like tons of people have these....i'm surprised we still don't know exactly what they are yet.
I don't think they are mutated bacteria.
That doesn't seem plausible to me.
They seem like a worm...just what kind of worm?
Posted by HollyS (Member # 20550) on :
mojoe,
I have been searching and searching and can't find any images specifying what they are either.
I thought maybe pinworms at first but they don't look like this.
Posted by TO LIFE (Member # 12371) on :
Dear Holly,
Mine look like this as well. Are they about a bit over an inch?
I just want you to know you are in my heart.
Posted by springshowers (Member # 19863) on :
But I do not know of any proof just that it is on that site and many people have seen them.

holly, thanks for answering ... it was you talking about sushi.
good photo above my post here.
Posted by mojoe128 (Member # 20182) on :
Yea it is definitely the same thing pictured on the lymephotos site.
I think they have just mislabeled it.
There are tons of people talking about this on curezone.....well this and liver flukes.
Would some kind of lab know what this is?
Or some sort of parisite specialist?
I'm just curious what it is and where it comes from.
Oh and i passed these on alinia.
Just wondering what everyone else has tried....and what worked the best?
Posted by 2roads (Member # 4409) on :
Holly,
I agree they do look like a parasite, especially the first photo.
Looking at the other photos They look like maybe irritated intestinal lining, or maybe a bloody clotting too.
If you gave this specimen to a lab, they should be able to tell you what they are, or did you just have a parasite check?
Did you find it dissolved in water, or changed color?
I don't know, it is interesting.
Hope you get to the bottom of this soon-
2roads
Posted by glm1111 (Member # 16556) on :
mojoe,
Can you post the curezone link where they are talking about this. I posted a while ago letters from lymedocs that I e-mailed in reference to idenifying parasites and worms.
One of the responses was that along with the O & P (ova & parasites) usually coming back negative, they had worms specimens that came back negative. Very frustrating not to mention the incompentency of a lot of labs.
I was tested numerous times thru the yrs and nothing showed up. However, I expelled EXACTLY what is pictured on lymephotos and then some.
Gael
Posted by HollyS (Member # 20550) on :
I did send off a stool sample for testing through my pediatrician's office. There were visible worms in the sample.
The sample came back negative. We had all three kids tested.
It is very frustrating.
No, they didn't disolve in water or change color. I even picked one up with a baby wipe to get a better look.
It was definitely solid.
I haven't seen any in over a week now. She also hasn't pooped three days.
Posted by glm1111 (Member # 16556) on :
Holly,
Brought the Lymedocs response thread back up for you to read about the labs. I can understand your frustration. Maybe you could send an e-mail to the people at Humaworm. They are very nice and helpful.
You could send them the pictures and maybe they can help you identify the parasite. They are usually very prompt with a response. The e-mail is
Hi, if you still have some of the "worms" I'd take them to a veterinarian and get their opinion.
Could these be strings of clotted blood? It doesn't really look like strings of blood to me, but neither do they look like worms...just a suggestion.
Did they appear to be alive when first eliminated? ...were they moving?
Did you roll them around to examine their shape? ...were they round or flattened? did they hold their shape, or disentigrate when examined?
It appears they are doubled...is that an artifact?
These don't really look like worms to me, but I'd love to have an expert opinion.
Do you have a nearby university with a parasitology department? ...or an interested veterinarian? Do you have a tropical medicine specialist or pediatric gastroenterologist nearby?
It's crazy the sample you sent contained some of these, yet it was determined to be negative for worms.
Was it sent for an O & P study? ...an ova and parasite examination of the stool = studied for worm eggs + worms
Be sure to get the actual copy of the test results from your doctor, not just the piece of paper that says your recent test was normal. You may be surprised at what is written on the actual report.
Breastfed babies can have a lot of gas, mucus and some strings of blood due to a allergy or intolerance to casein, the protein in cow's milk. This protein passes from the mother's digestive system, into the blood stream, and eventually through the breast milk, which causes problems in some babies.
You may want to do some research on dairy or milk intolerance. Casein intolerance in babies can be so severe as to cause colic, reflux, and failure to thrive syndrome.
This is more common in the babies of adults who had problems digesting milk products as babies. Did anyone in your family have trouble with cow's milk as a baby?
Posted by HollyS (Member # 20550) on :
Thanks for the links.
Posted by HollyS (Member # 20550) on :
hshbmom,
I'll try to answer all your questions.
No, I do not believe they are strings of clotted blood.
No, they were not alive/moving.
They were very small so examining their shape was difficult. They did hold their shape though. I was able to pick one up using a baby wipe.
What do you mean by artifact?
Yes, I want to know what they are too.
I don't know about a parasitology department or interested veterinarian or the such.
Yes, I was surprised at the results as well. I will ask for a copy of the report.
I am not sure what kind of study they did.
She does have a problem when I consume dairy so I have already eliminated it from my dairy several months ago.
I have also eliminated gluten, bananas, strawberries and tomatoes because all of those seem to bother her.
I am lactose intolerant and my husband's brother is allergic to milk. I also suspect my oldest daughter has a sensitivity to cow's milk as well. Her allergy test came up negative.
Unfortunately I didn't keep any of the "worms". I am watching her diaper for more though.
Posted by hshbmom (Member # 9478) on :
I'm glad you have the photos.
Artifact is something that isn't as it appears...like the glare from a light source makes a photo look like there's a bolt of lightning in a photo...or red eyes in a photo. An artifact is an error in a photo or other image due to an outside influence...glare, light reflection,
...air bubbles in a stool sample can resemble round worm eggs; a worm stuck to another worm can look like a double worm, etc...
I just read your other thread on this subject. You may also want to get all copies of your test results, especially the parasite test. Any parasite should be identified, otherwise the physician wouldn't know how to treat it. Different types of worms require different treatments.
I see you have a family history of problems with milk products.
You may want to work with a international board certified lactation consultant, an allergist, and an nutritionist to help with your baby's intolerances/allergies. A team approach is helpful in situations like these.
You may want to eat according to a 4 day rotation plan to help your baby not develop new allergies/intolerances, such as to soy products. A significant percentage of babies allergic to casein become allergic to soy.
Posted by HollyS (Member # 20550) on :
Hmmmm....not sure if it an artifact. I guess it could be two "worms" stuck together.
I have my test results when I tested positive for a parasite but they weren't able to identify it.
I will make sure I get a copy of the baby's results as well.
Great idea on the team approach as well as the 4 day rotation on foods.
We are just starting to introduce solids and I plan to go very slow with it.
Posted by hshbmom (Member # 9478) on :
Three of my children were very intolerant of dairy and soy products in my diet. I breastfed them and finally learned to adjust my diet during pregnancy to lessen the chance of causing it. It was a horrible thing before we learned what caused all of their screaming. One child's growth rate doubled when I eliminated all traces of dairy and soy. The soy intolerance developed after the dairy intolerance. I didn't know to rotate the foods.
One family member with Lyme has developed many food intolerances that looks like a gluten intolerance, but all the blood tests come back normal.
Posted by HollyS (Member # 20550) on :
My blood test also came back normal for gluten but it was the stool test that confirmed an intolerance.
I already knew I was dairy and gluten intolerant based on an elimination diet.
I will rotate what I eat. Great advice.
Posted by glm1111 (Member # 16556) on :
hshbmom,
If you will read the posts above and look at the links springsgowers provided from lymephotos and the ones mojoes provided from curezone, you will see that many people have expelled these parasitic/worms.
The pictures holly provided appear to be exactly the same parasite.
I also provided links in reference to the response from lymedocs as to the inaccuracy they have experienced when the have sent tests to labs for O&P including the whole worm specimen.
BTW, Allergies are listed as one of the symptoms of parasites,
Gael
Posted by hshbmom (Member # 9478) on :
These photos do look similar to the others. They kind of look like tapeworms because the segments may make the worm look striped.
I've seen many many animal parasites, but very few human parasites.
They don't look like flukes due to the shape.
We really need an expert opinion on this...a parasitologist knows what types of parasties humans can have and don't deny the obvious, as many physicians do.
Posted by HollyS (Member # 20550) on :
Yes, she does have symptoms of parasites.
Eczema, mucus in stool, diarrhea and constipation, vomiting and food allergies.
She hasn't pooed in 4 days so hopefully she will go today.
Posted by mojoe128 (Member # 20182) on :
Hey Holly
Just wondering if you got any closer to figuring out what the worms are?
Posted by HollyS (Member # 20550) on :
Not yet. I am keeping a poop journal per the Dr. request.
She went 4 days without pooping then finally went this morning but didn't fill her diaper as much as I expected she would.
Later this afternoon she had a little more and it was very sticky looking and green.
Poor baby. At least she acts fine and it doesn't seem to be bothering her too much.
She was very fussy yesterday as would I be if I hadn't gone in that long. She was very happy today after she went.
I will be calling the Dr. again in the morning to see what they want to do.
I know something just isn't right.
Thanks for asking.

Posted by glm1111 (Member # 16556) on :
Holly,
You might want to give her more water to hydrate her colon. So sorry she is going thru this. The green sticky poo sure sounds like infection to me. Hope your doctor wants to see her right away. Please keep us informed,
Gael
Posted by HollyS (Member # 20550) on :
Unfortunately she will not drink from a bottle or cup. I am working on it though.
She just wants to nurse and I am even having a hard time getting her to eat solids.
I have started trying rice cereal and she hates it.
Posted by HollyS (Member # 20550) on :
Well, she passed more worm looking things today.
The Dr. is going to see her on Friday.
She thinks it is just mucus.
Posted by glm1111 (Member # 16556) on :
Holly,
I hope you saved them to take to the doctor. Please don't let your doctor dismiss them as mucus. What made her come to this conclusion? Did you send her a picture?
Gael
Posted by hshbmom (Member # 9478) on :
That is NOT mucus....possibly shreds of intestine, but the pediatrician will never know unless she sends a sample to pathology for examination.
But, I wouldn't stop there. I'd demand she also send a sample to a human parasitologist at a large teaching hospital or university.
The more professional opinions the better. Otherwise the pediatrician is just blowing you off. A clinician without clinical curiousity is a poor physician. Few doctors do their own labwork anymore. Perhaps an urgent care physician would have less constraints compared to a ped. in a pediatric practice.
You're the parent. You must get some answers. Don't accept some lazy pediatrician's trivialization of the problem.
Someone may advise you better than me...Great Smoky Labs or something like that may run stool tests for parasites. They may have changed their name.
In the meantime, put the worms & a good glop of the diaper contents into a ziploc bag, seal the bag, then put that bag inside another baggie. Store in the refrigerator. This is to prevent them from drying out. I see you don't go to the doctor until Friday. I hope they don't get too dried out by Friday. If you have enough worms, put a couple in a film cannister of alcohol.
It would be better to put them in some formaldehyde, which you could get from a veterinarian. If you explain what's going on to the vet's receptionist, they may give you some formaldehyde in a small medicine bottle. The vet will likely be curious as to what you've found.
Beware, don't put any worm samples in water. That will distort them and they may rupture in water.
Posted by hshbmom (Member # 9478) on :
You may want to look in your local library for a textbook, such as the Atlas of Human Parasitology.
If it's not in your public library, then you'll probably find a copy in your hospital's library. You're allowed to go there to find information.
I found several human parasitology sites online, but they didn't have photos of specimens that were "fresh." The photos I found weren't very helpful.
Also, you may want to work with a international board certified lactation consultant to figure out the allergy/intolerance issues.
Holly, does this worm appear to have segments? Are the worms all the same length? Or do they to appear to have broken into various length, but look the same otherwise?
In a photo it's hard to tell. A segmented worm will be a tapeworm. Your history of eating sushi is very significant. You may learn this is some sort of fish tapeworm.
Posted by hshbmom (Member # 9478) on :
Transmission of the tapeworm would be the big question here. This is a baby who doesn't eat sushi. The cyst must be eaten to be able to pass to the intestines to develop. How could an infant could get infected with this particular tapeworm.
Posted by mojoe128 (Member # 20182) on :
I don't think they are tapeworms.
I had the same thing and dissected a "cocoon" of them.
They don't seem to have the shape of a tapeworm. Tapeworms tend to flatten out and look like a piece of shoelace...rectangular.
Thats just from pictures i have looked at....but i'm sure there are tons of different strains and variations.
But from the worms i had...which is the same as Holly S's baby....they seem like something else.
Well i think we can all agree that they are not mucus.....and if they "are" get a good explanation of why she thinks that.
Posted by hshbmom (Member # 9478) on :
I agree that these don't appear flat as tapeworms tend to be. They don't appear to be round like a roundworm either. They don't appear to have a head and tail.
We need an expert opinion!

UPDATE
I saw the new pediatrician today and can I tell you I just love her.
I took in my laptop with the pictures I posted and more pictures.
She said it is bloody mucus. She checked her rectum and saw an anal fissure and showed it to me.
She said it is usually caused by a dairy intollerance.
She put me on a very strict diet these next two weeks to see if it clears up.
I cannot eat ANYTHING with dairy including casein or whey, soy, eggs, gluten or any of the fruits that seem to cause her to break out.
She has also prescribed a cream for her fissure and told me to put her on probiotics.
She has also written me orders for blood allergy test and also checked her hemoglobin.
She does not think these pictures are parasites.
She was very thorough and answered all my questions and I am very satisfied with my appointment.
I see her back in two weeks.
Thanks for all the support!!!!!!
Holly
Posted by glm1111 (Member # 16556) on :
Holly,
I am glad you love your pediatrician, and I don't mean to burst your bubble, but for her to state that those parasites are bloody mucus is really scary.
They are NOT bloody mucus!. Your baby could have an anal fissure just from the parasites!
This kind of ignorance about parasitology in the medical community is a big part of the reason why we are all so sick.
Allergies are a symptom of parasites. I pray to God your baby will be okay
Gael
Posted by HollyS (Member # 20550) on :
We will see what happens when I cut out all those foods for the next two weeks. She is going to see her again in two weeks.
Posted by hshbmom (Member # 9478) on :
Did the new doctor send a sample to pathology for analysis? ...to verify if it truly was a blood clot?
I believe she saw a fissure, but that does not answer the real question as to the composition of this object.
Blood would not look striped or segmented. Neither clots nor mucus would look like uniform strings. Clots would look clumped.
I agree with Gael, this is NOT bloody mucus.
Posted by Ocean (Member # 3496) on :
Holly,
I'm sorry, but I will have to agree with the others. The photos do not appear to be 'mucus'. Mucus often appears to be transparent especially at the sides without a basic shape. The figures in the photos have a definitive shape, and a bloody mucus wouldn't normal be stained completely like the figures if it was due to a fissure in the anus, as the mucus would quickly pass through.
I worked in a level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit from 2005-2006 (then I got pregnant and relapsed with what I now know is Lyme).
We had many babies with anal fissures as they were very ill neonates. I remember clearly as we had to put ointment on it.
None of the babies had thing appear in their stool like what you pictured. None.
Also, what about the fact that this 'mucus' has suddenly stopped appearing? If it truly was caused by an anal fissure, your infant would continue to secrete this bloody 'mucus'.
If your child was eating, I would suspect something in the diet, but with breastmilk, it seems impossible.
Sorry to be a downer, but I know from experience that most doctors tend to under-react (unless they are in an intensive care until, in which case they over-react!).
Most MD's don't realize that parasites are a problem in the 'super clean good ole US of A. I think there are a lot of sick people walking around who could be helped with a parasite cleanse.
Anyhow, if your baby has stopped passing them, perhaps something killed whatever was passed in the stool and it is gone. I really don't know.
I'm sure this has been extremely stressful for you, you are a good mama by trying to locate a physician who will help your little one.
Good luck!
Ocean
ps...I'm not a doctor and cannot offer medical advice, the aforementioned is my opinion only and should be perceived only as a personal opinion.
Posted by HollyS (Member # 20550) on :
Yes it has been stressful as a mom.
She wants me to adhere to the very strict diet to see if it clears up before we proceed.
She has 5 children of her own and has had parasite issues with them before.
She even told me how she had poop in her freezer on several occasions from her kids.
I really don't feel like she was just trying to blow me off.
She is sending me to our Children's Hospital for some blood work and if I see any blood in her stool she is sending me to a specialist at the Children's Hospital.
They are going to monitor her diet (what I am eating), her stools, weight, behavior and symptoms.
She didn't just say "this is just bloody mucus so just don't eat these things that could cause it".
She is doing what most doctors do and starting with the obvious causes.
If I don't feel like she is taking this as seriously as I am then I will continue on to the next doctor.
If I see anything like this again I will bag up the diaper and head straight to the office with it and show it to them.
Posted by HollyS (Member # 20550) on :
Also, my mom has a very nice microscope so I will be picking that up from her.
Next time I see anything like this I will get a closer look at it. I can't tell on these pictures if it has segments or not.
Posted by Ocean (Member # 3496) on :
Holly,
The poop in the freezer is too funny! Good for her for being so open! That's great that she is on board with parasites, I didn't realize that.
Hopefully you will find some answers. I know how awful it is as a mom to worry about your child, esp when they are so young.
Sounds like your baby is going to be in good care.
That's great =)
Let us know if it clears up and stays away, hopefully it will and you can just worry about yourself getting better.
take care, Ocean
Posted by HollyS (Member # 20550) on :
Yes, she is also open to the TBIs. I told her I was recently diagnosed with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
I told her I was surprised I wasn't in the hospital or dead for as long as I may have had it.
She said a lot of people have these diseases and don't know it.
She said the real problem is the "healthy" people walking around with it get bit my mosquitoes and then the mosquitoes pass it on to the next person when it bites them.
WOW!!! I was very surprised by her saying that. Most other doctors I have dealt with just roll their eyes at me when I mention any TBI.
I do feel like my baby girl is in good hands and I am on top of everything.
I can become very neurotic about my kids's health when needed.
I had to demand a referal to an ENT for my oldest daughter when she was 3.
Her tonsills were so big they completely cut off her airway at night when she slept on her back.
I had to sleep with her and keep her on her side.
Her ped at the time told me not to worry about it and ENTs don't remove tonsills anymore anyway.
I demanded the referal and the ENT. He took one look at them and told me it was urgent we have them removed.
They were removed the following week.
I have always been a huge advocate for my children. My husband thinks I am too over the top but I don't think so. :-)
Thanks again for all your concern and support. I'll keep everyone updated.
Now back to getting myself better.

We blindfolded them and brought things close to them to smell and they had to guess what it was.
I actually got a dirty diaper and had them smell it. My oldest guessed it was french toast.
Either the baby's poop smells really good or my cooking smells really bad!!! :-) Too funny.

Did HollyS ever find out what these "items" were that she found in her baby's diaper?

Welcome, concerned mommy!
I don't know if she did. Let's hope her baby is now a healthy first-grader!

I am also wondering, is there any word of what this might have been? Does anyone know how to get onto contact with Holly?

I tried something like this and people went CRAZY and I was warned. Apparently some don't have the stomach. They look like worms to me. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
