How to test for parasites
Do not make the mistake I made and order a 1 day stool test. Mine came back negative (even though I had them) and sadly many tests reveal a false negative. If testing, the best option is a comprehensive 3-day stool test where someone is actually looking under the microscope (and even then you risk a false negative). Keep in mind, not all pathogens are tested. Not to mention, parasites in the brain or ones buried in organs will not show up. If you still choose to test, your best option is most likely a 3-day comprehensive stool test but be aware, it can come back negative and you may still have them (if symptoms present themselves).
