TapeWorm - Information and Treatments

In many cases, they are no signs or symptoms associated with tapeworm infection. Most people won't even know that they have tapeworm in their body.

Signs and symptoms of intestinal infection

If you have an intestinal tapeworm infection, the chances are you will never even know it unless you happen to notice a segment of an adult tapeworm excreting out with your stool when you visit the toilet. In rare cases, an adult tapeworm may even move up your intestine and stomach and pop its ugly head out of your mouth. I have actually seen this happen to a young student in my school.

Other possible signs and symptoms include:

=> Loss of appetite
=> Weakness and fatigue
=> Abdominal pain
=> Diarrhea and rectal itching
=> Weight loss and inadequate absorption of nutrients from food

Signs and symptoms of invasive infection

Unfortunately, If tapeworm larvae move out of your intestine and form cysts in other tissues of your body, the symptoms are more serious. Symptoms of invasive tapeworm infection include:

=> Cystic masses or lumps
=> Allergic reactions
=> Bacterial infections
=> Neurological symptoms or seizures if the brain is involved

There are many medications that can be bought at the pharmacy that will kill adult tapeworms in the intestine. These medications are toxic to the tapeworms and can kill them off quite easily. Biltricide is a common medicine recommended for the treatment of tapeworm infection.

A diet of only raw pineapples for 4 days can also help you get rid of tapeworms. You should properly juice the pineapple along with its skin as they contain bromelain that help kills tapeworms.

Garlic is also very effective in eliminating tapeworm from the body. Eating raw garlic or garlic capsules daily will help with tapeworm eradication.

A mixture of pumpkin seeds, papaya seeds, papaya pulp, and unsweetened organic yogurt is also said to help with the treatment of tapeworm infestation. It is recommended to chew a small amount of this mixture throughout the day. Drinking glycerine and pepsin in hot water before any meal will also help treat the tapeworm infection.
