Parasites in the Colon Symptoms

Parasites in the colon are a common problem that can cause great amounts of internal damage. These creatures are transmitted to humans through the air, food and water. They inflame the colon and intestinal walls causing a variety of symptoms.

  1. Gastrointestinal Symptoms

    • Constipation, excessive gas and bloating, bulky stool and diarrhea are all potential symptoms caused by a parasite infestation in the colon.

    Skin Symptoms

    • Even skin conditions sometimes erupt when there is a parasitic problem with the colon. These can be hives, ulcers, rashes and sores of varying sorts.

    Energy Symptoms

    • Since the parasites are feeding inside of the colon, they are weakening the body and robbing it of vital nutrients. A sufferer may experience abnormally low energy levels, weakness and exhaustion.

    Emotional Symptoms

    • Malnutrition caused by parasites in the colon can cause symptoms of depression and nervousness.

    Granulomas

    • Parasitic eggs may be encased in large masses, which are like tumors inside of the colon and along the walls of the rectum.
