🌿 INTESTINAL PARASITES: Hidden Saboteurs of Gut Health 🦠✨
Feeling bloated, fatigued, or “off” despite eating clean? You might be dealing with intestinal parasites — and no, you don’t have to have traveled abroad to pick one up. 🧳❌
From a holistic digestive health lens, parasites are more common than we think — and often go undiagnosed. They thrive in a weakened digestive terrain: low stomach acid, imbalanced microbiome, and chronic stress.
🔍 Signs You May Have a Parasite:
• Chronic bloating or gas
• Sugar + carb cravings (they feed off it)
• Itchy skin or rashes
• Sleep disturbances (especially waking around in at 3am, for example)
• Irregular stools or IBS-like symptoms
• Mood swings or anxiety
🧠 Your gut and brain are connected — parasites can impact mental health just as much as digestion.
