Does anyone here perform capsule endoscopy? If there is someone in the lower Ontario region that knows this procedure, I can get a recommendation from my family physician. Bio-resonnance testing at my Naturopath's office showed Dipyllobothrium Scolex and Lamblia Intestinalis. I submitted numerous stool samples and they show there is no problem. I do have a problem - lots of weird stuff in stool and very sore stomach. Because it doesn't show up in 'regular' tests, I can't find a doctor/specialist to talk to.

Hello and thank you for posting your medical question on E health forum.

From the history provided it seems that you have intestinal parasitic infestation (fish tapeworm and giardiasis to be specific).

This can be diagnosed by a stool examination for cysts and ova and then appropriate medications can be prescribed by your doctor for eliminating them.

You might consider consulting a gastroenterologist for empiric treatment of your condition based on the physical findings and your symptoms. You can also discuss the need of a capsule endoscopy in your case.

I hope this helps.
