Hellllo,
I have been on parastroy for about 6 weeks now. My ND wants to do a parasite test. I know lots of false negatives, but this test tests for parasites, their DNA and different chemicals they put out. It also tests my yeast levels and other GI stuff.

ANYWAYS. He wants me to stop parastroy for a while (he said 3 wks), before taking the test. I really dont want to do that-- i'd be back to square 1. I also read that sometimes it helps to be on the herbs-- it makes them show up in your stool more?

Anyways-- does anyone have any thoughts. I might just go off for like a week then take the test.
