Janak,

The opposite for me, gained weight since M. I can't even relate. I might even not mind M if I lost weight rapidly. Now that's a crazy statement!

Rapid weight loss may be caused by parasites, but you should have this checked out as other serious diseases might involved too. Just in case, before doing anything else, it would IMHO be wise to make sure by seeing a doctor first to rule out other diseases (diabetes or some cancers are two that come to mind immediately aside from parasites).

Are Parasites Causing Your Weight Gain or Weight Loss?

Worrying about your unexplained weight gain or loss is troubling enough. It can become downright disgusting when you start thinking about parasites being the root of your problems! However, if you do have a parasite infection in your body, it’s important to find out early so it can be treated. Depending on which type of parasite you may have and how it’s working, weight gain or loss could be the first sign of a parasite infection.
How Parasites Can Cause Weight Gain

If you eat healthily and exercise on a regular basis, parasites could counteract all your hard work and cause you to gain weight. In some cases, they eat the nutrients your body needs to process food properly. This leaves your body running sluggishly and inefficiently.

Parasites can also cause food backups in your body, leading to constipation. Unfortunately, this side effect can lead to weight gain as food stops moving through your body. Constipation is particularly common if you have a large parasite in your body that is sizable enough to block off your intestines.

If you’ve noticed that you constantly feel tired or weak, a parasite may be to blame. Some worms live on the intestines, taking nutrient-filled blood from your body. When this occurs enough, anemia can result, and with it comes the tiredness that leaves you unable or unwilling to exercise.
How Parasites Can Cause Weight Loss

Rapid, unexplained weight loss can be very dangerous. If you haven’t changed your diet or exercise plan and you’re still losing more weight than you’re accustomed to, a parasite could be doing the damage.

Some parasites cause diarrhea because of the hormones they carry. The resulting diarrhea tends to increase in frequency and amount as the parasite takes its toll on your body. You’ll notice this due to the discomfort of constantly using the restroom as well as the resulting dehydration.

Parasites often feed on whatever you’re eating. In fact, many actually prefer certain types of foods. If a parasite inside you is large enough or fast enough to match your food consumption, it could be leeching all of your fat and nutrients before they can even be processed by your body. In this case, it doesn’t matter how much you eat. The parasite will continue to feed off of what you’re eating and eventually move onto your energy stores and cause you to lose weight.

Preventing Parasites in Your Body

If you’ve already become the victim of a parasite infection, talk to your doctor immediately. In the future, take some precautions to keep parasites from bothering you again. Wash your hands frequently, especially after dealing with human or animal waste. Don’t walk around barefoot outside and be sure to clean all produce before you eat it. By following these simple steps, you can avoid a parasite infestation. If you’ve noticed any of the above symptoms in conjunction with sudden weight gain or loss, talk to a doctor as soon as possible to keep yourself healthy and safe.

Are Parasites Causing Your Weight Gain or Weight Loss? | 3FC

"When the worms are ingested or taken into the body, they embed themselves in your intestines, usually in the intestinal lining of either the stomach, the small or the large intestines. Once there, they make themselves comfortable and dine on the same food that you are eating. They have nothing else to do but eat, release wastes and breed. They may lay many eggs and many of their young survive and make themselves at home in your system too.

As these little creatures release their waste products into your tissues, the tissues are subjected to toxins which enter the bloodstream and cause sickness and often lead to poor health and other diseases.

Some common symptoms of parasitic worm invasion may at first seem like uncomplicated or simple temporary illness. However, if these symptoms continue to occur repeatedly, it would be a good idea to think very seriously about the possibility that you may have worms in your intestines. Some of the most frequent and common symptoms are bloating, constipation, diarrhea, skin rash and fatigue. Other common symptoms include anemia and anxiety or nervousness. These are all signs that a worm invasion may have occurred.

The reason these symptoms occur is because the toxins released by the worms, over time, build up and cause breakdown of the surrounding tissues and once into the blood stream, they become systemic, resulting in further sickness and poor health. If the worms are not destroyed, the diseases get worse and eventually lead to death. Something that is not well known is the fact that many weight problems such as inability to lose weight or just the opposite, the inability to gain weight, during circumstances where each condition should not be occurring, can often be traced to worm infestation. If you are dieting and cannot seem to lose weight even though you are eating much less and exercising, the problem may be worms. If you cannot gain weight even while you are eating more of high calorie foods and are not exercising, you may be experiencing a worm invasion.”
