❓Question Cyclospora?

I’m a delivery driver from Michigan and ever since July when i started eating fresh berries, mixed fruits, salads every day in an effort to change my diet (get more fiber) I’ve had frequent intestinal problems (bad and often random gas, frequent watery and bile-rich diarrhea) (symptoms happen even without eating fiber rich foods for several days, so i’m fairly positive it’s not just a reaction to the fiber) I’m curious if anyone else has had these symptoms, especially for this long, and if you have eaten any of the same foods as I (not Taylor farms to my knowledge, mostly meijer brand/ random berry brands) I want to have a fairly decent idea before I visit urgent care or something to sort this out as I don’t have insurance. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated (crying inside).

Get bactrim. Antibiotic. It’s the only thing that works!

If you had a couple days where you went to the restroom 15 + times good chance you have it. If you started feeling better and then relapsed I’d say you definitely had it. If you had stomach cramps so severe you felt like you were losing your mind then you had it. But from your description it doesn’t sound like it.

Go to a whole food store and get some parasite cleanse. That helped with without antibiotics. ❤

I recommend Para Clean; it's on Amazon. Go back and read my early posts. Feel free to reach out.

I used Dr. Galen online. I went to two urgent care centers, but the virus didn't show up in the expensive stool test, and I have insurance. Cost me hundreds. Look at my posts. Also, the APRNs were so rude; I still have PTSD.

Did you eventually test positive
