longterm effects of parasites, GI tract, and developing CPPS

[lookouth]

So, as I do more and more Pt and relaxation and so on I am realizing all most all of my trigger points are in my abs and above my pubic bone and so on. I have also intermittingly noticed IBS like symptoms. In addition to this I have had blood in my stool after taking certain NSAIDS and I have been chronically borderline anemic for most of my life. Finally, for about four years as a teenager I had pinworms (a pretty benign parasitic infection, but a parasite nonetheless). Taken together with the fact that my chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome started with intense abdominal cramping and acute pain over my intestines I am now beginning to think a large contributing factor to my chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome may have GI tract problems, I know IBS can cause a 'spastic colon' and couldn't this trigger the same sort of guarding-tightening response in the pelvis/abs that an inflamed prostate could cause, especially in my abs? Could it be that I have to address certain underlying GI issues ( I have never even seen a Gastroenterologist, despite having been reccommend for a endoscopy and colonoscopy a few years ago) before I get completly better? Could my long term parasitic infection catalyzed my GI problems and set all this off?

I think the pinworm infection (extremely common) is irrelevant. I think that if you have IBS you may want to carefully inspect your diet for trigger foods, since recent research links food intolerances to IBS. I recommend the book on allergy and intolerance by Brostoff.

You love that book so much that I've decided to give in and order it myself!

Good idea, especially if you have any history or family history of atopy, allergies, eczema etc.

My biggest food trigger is wheat. If any of you find that bread makes you tired or depressed, or gives you loose stools, (diarrhoea), or constipation, read this:
