Parasitic worms

I have noticed something strange with my colon. I have been trying to loose weight but every time i feel bloated and itching of the colon. I had recently seen small worms in my stool. would a laxative be good for getting rid of them or any type of home remedy be good for getting rid of them? It is embarrssing to talk about them or let alone post about them. If anyone could suggest a good home remedy for getting rid of them, it would be most helpful, especially for my health. I have never had them before.

There are no home remedies to treat worms.  You need to see your doctor to get stool testing and then treatment.

Pinworms can be treated with 'over-the counter' medication.  Combantrin is available without a prescription.  It can't hurt to try.  good luck.

tboyd is right with his information.  Pinworms are tiny white worms seen in and on the stool and they do cause itching.  They are very common and there are OTC medications to get rid of them.
