Do I treat child before rest of family?
Stool tests have yet to confirm what I've seen with my naked eye, but my family needs to be wormed. The problem is that I'm still nursing my 2 yo son, so I know that I have to wean before I cleanse. That leaves my husband and 4 yo daughter. I understand that exchange of bodily fluids passes parasites, so he's out. What about my daughter? She suffers from nearly constant stomach aches (which sometimes even wakes her at night), and has skin reactions to almost everything she eats.
We are all doing the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (by Elaine Gottschalk). We started when we thought the problem might be Celiac's or a bacterial overgrowth. Certainly bacteria and possibly Candida are also a problem, but I feel the parasites are what are feeling hurting her.
Her stomach pains came on rather suddenly, after a roadtrip which including swimming in various lakes and rivers.
Do you recommend me treating her in isolation, for the time being? Or should I wait until we can all do it? I know it's not advisable for children to do parasite cleanses too often.
Thank you. The full moon is nearly upon us and I would like to act as soon as possible.
