Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Fibre is important for bowel movements, which helps to cleanse parasites from the body, so include more fibre-rich foods in the diet, like oats. 
  • Pumpkin seeds, garlic, honey, and papaya seeds are considered antiparasitic foods, so it is best to include them in your diet. 
  • Sometimes, doctors recommend a grain-free, sugar-free diet, while others may recommend limiting fruit intake to further reduce dietary sugars, so it is better to talk to your nutritionist.
