FWIW i don't think "ropeworm" is really a parasite or worm as the name suggests -
i think its the intestines shedding mucous and some of the lining of the digestive tract due to inflammation and irritation by whatever is upsetting it - which naturally enough looks like long ropey "stuff" in the bowel movements - but is not actually a parasite itself.
this inflammation, mucous etc could be caused another common parasite like giardia or cryptosporidium - or bartonella - or other gut issues like gluten intolerance or any number of things
i would work on diagnosing which of these is properly as a first step
there are helpful diagnostic tests for much of this out there now eg the GI map test by diagnostic solutions
i would be wary of any practitioner that regards "rope worm" as a real parasite or treats for parasites without knowing what you are dealing with - as the treatments differ depending on the organism concerned.
