Dear Trace,
Parasites are difficult to test for. Stool tests can be done, but miss a lot. Doctor's Data is supposed to be a good lab, and my holistic physician uses it. Symptoms depend on what kind there are, and where they are located in the body. With tapeworm, gastric symptoms are common. Abdominal pain, bloating, constipation and diarrhea are typical if the offending creature is in the digestive tract.

Sincerely,
Jin

My LLmD is having me do one through Jetti Katz in NYC. He says it's one of the best. Better be for $400.
