Sorry, don't understand the question. Does the doctor say that you have a worm inside you?

If you have a tapeworm, this is a parasitic worm which has attached itself to your lower intestine. It will nourish itself from your food, and you're likely to find it hard to keep weight on, and may suffer from lethargy.

Tapeworms are generally caught from infected food, which has been handled by someone who has transferred the tapeworm eggs because of poor personal hygeine. Basically, the eggs are ejected from your system with your faeces. If you get them on your hand and don't wash properly, you could pass them on.

It is not an eating disorder; it's not psychological. If there is a worm in you, it can be got out and you will then be able to keep on weight.

Sorry, have I understood you properly - - Your doctor has told you that you've got an eating disorder - You say that you've got a worm inside you? Go back and talk to your doctor about your worries. You can ask for a second opinion from another doctor if you want to, but please do go back. Take care xx

Caz,Are you seeing the same gp each time? Did you know that nervous anxiety will give you more bowels movements than normal because the stomach churns! Why not ask for some counselling?It seems like you need to speak to sombody about your anxiety.If your endoscope was negative then try to feel encouraged by that.
