Have you been tested for Parasites

After reading alot of your health symptoms I realize I have so many of those.  i have always been super healthy and then after living in Peru i noticed at first after eating my tummy would puff and it would burn and I would be really uncomfortable and the thought of wearing tight jeans stressed me out knowing it would be near my tummy.  Well i got tested with a stool parasite test and they found two parasites.  So did a 7 days cycle of antibiotics and noticed my symptoms went away. But decided to take another stool test to see if everything was killed.  Well 1 was killed but the other Blastocystis Hominis was still showing in my stool at 6-10 /c but after doing research looked like this is really hard to kill and doctors aren't to worried about it.  But then after 4 months i noticed the same symptmos but this time worse.  More burning, bloating, anxiety, restless sleeping, fatique in the day and then awake at night and trust me I was on vacation for that time so had nothing to be stressfull about.  Well decided to take another parasite test and it came back with Blastocystis Hominis showing 10-15 /c so it had grown.  Went back to researching and doctors put my rating as I should take action.  Did another set of antibiotics for 10days.  After i had fever, headaches, flu like symptoms just recovering after that long on antibiotics well this time a week after I had intense burning again in my stomach, couldnt sleep and all the other symptoms of joint, back pain, nausea so after reading everyones comments im not sure what direction to take.

if its testing my blood, or what really...???

I have just been researching my symptoms and this is what I found that i want to get checked but these are things it could be: Helicobacter Pylori ( stomach ulcer), Gastritis, also checking these tests Blood Antibody Test, Bile Salt, Endoscopy test.

I know alot of doctors dont look at parasites as an option and need to get my checked out more but this could be a possibiliy for the other comments I have read.

Any news updates Ill keep you posted.
