Parasite Treatment That Won't Exacerbate IBS-D?

Posted By GertJr (Madison) on 10/17/2023

Is there an intestinal parasite treatment that does not trigger a total blowout? I already deal with IBS-D and I'm afraid I'll trigger a flare if I do something harsh. I'm reading Dr Davis' book about fixing my gut and he suggests doing a parasite treatment but I'm afraid. Also, what about the ivermectin pour-on that I have for my livestock--can I use that on myself? I don't see why not, some people ate the paste.

GertJr,

For myself, for an intestinal parasite, I would give Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth (FGDE) some consideration.

Without knowing the safety of ingesting the pour-on ingredients, I would avoid that type. Stick to the horse paste or get the ivermectin 3mg tablets.

Look into mimosa pudica seed. It works amazingly well. Make sure you get a genuine seed product. It forms a sticky yet slippery gel when mixed with a little water. Take it daily for a period of time along with an intestinal mover if your bowels become sluggish or backed up (cascara sagrada, aloe, etc).

Madelyn, you obviously do not know what the D stands for if you think my bowels ever get sluggish. Btw, the horse paste has many more ingredients than the pour-on. Pour on is ivermectin plus a carrier oil; paste has invermectin + flavoring+ thickeners+ preservatives + a whole slew of other unpronounceable things. If the paste is ok, then the pour on definitely is!

Hi GertJr, I had to put that disclaimer in there because other people will be reading the post. Also, you never want to assume anything because the body can be unpredictable. But yes, I did realize the D is for diarrhea. Anyway, it is because the mimosa pudica seed may cause the bowels to become more sluggish as parasites are being eliminated that I recommend it as you had asked for a recommendation that wouldn’t cause a total blow out.

Thank you for the tip about the pour on. I didn’t know it was just a carrier oil and the ivermectin. I’m wonder if it’s at the same strength as the paste -1.87%? I’ll look more into that. I had gotten a paste that was white and obviously contained titanium dioxide. So I’ve since made sure to only get the clear gels. But I still don’t like the other fillers that make up the remaining 98.13%!
