I just ordered the GI panel kit thru Unikey, and am suffering almost exactly what is described in the Gut Flush plan by Ann Louise: bloating, indigestion, tons of acid. Ultrsound came back clean. For the longest time, my stools have had "specs" in them....kind of like sesame seeds, only about half the size. Can you tell me what this might mean? I also noticed a firmer object, about the size of a kernel of corn, only flattened and relatively hard, in my stool. Except I haven't eaten corn! haven't been able to eat much of anything!AND I use a digestive enzyme. I Any ideas? Thank you.

Terry,
Have you ever tried a parasite cleanse?
That would be something to consider in this situation.

The GI test will give you tons and tons of information. It's really one of the best things you can do. Way to go!
I hope it arrives quickly for you.

I have not done a parasite cleanse. I am right now finishing up the collection process for the UniKey GI test. Thank you for responding..I'm still learning to use this forum! I am assuming that the GI test will tell me about parasites?

Is this the stool sample mentioned on the site or a different test??

Its on the site and I beleive it is called the GI Panel. You can always check with Liz at UNI KEY who knows much more about this than I

The stuff in stool sounds like tapeworm segments (the egg segments) also called proglottids-- The also look like rice in the stool or cucumber seeds- I know because I have them. Marina

Try eating raw pumpkin seeds they are good for you and good help against parasites too.
