I'm reaching FAR out there, but has anyone thought of or heard or tried a remedy for parasites?? I'm thinking of having my daughter do a really good detox and cleanse when school gets out and then start her on a strict diet after.

I tried to ask her Gastro Specialist, but she thinks I'm just grasping at straws and putting her through unnecessary home remedies. BUT, it is better than sitting around watching her suffer and miss out on life because they don't know what to do.

My daughter had a test for parasites which was negative when they were trying to find the cause of her abdominal pain. I don't think I would have thought of that for her headache.
October 7, Lisa had her second nerve decompression surgery, this time on the nerves on the front of her head.

I haven't heard of a link, but I completely understand not wanting to sit and do nothing. I put myself on a headache diet that I saw on Houston headache clinic's website. It hasn't helped me so before too much longer I am going to start adding things back in slowly.

I think it is natural that you would think of this though since she is having stomach problems along with her headaches. She is not the only one to have both. Some people's stomach problems come from meds, others don't seem to know why but have noticed a link with the headache.
