Worm infestation in stomach

Worms are a very common in unhygienic conditions . This is especially for children who play in soil and eat without washing hands. These worms grow well inside stomach taking away all our nutrition. This results in poor nutritional profile of child and howmuch ever the child eats , he or she may look very weak. Giving Albendazole is a remedy. this syrup can be taken once in 6 months. This not only kills the worms in stomach but also the E.coli and other bacteria in stomach. our stomach houses bacteria ( less than 20,000 colonies) which help in absorption of vitamins and minerals from our stomach. When deworming is done , it kills the bacteria too. hence vitamin and mineral absorption is hindered. How can be rectify this condition ? supplementing with yeast , from natural sources and more intake of vitamins is required. Hence one can have sour curds rich in yeast and bacteria that help in vitamin and mineral absorption . Drinking more juices and having more greens also add on to the vitamin and mineral supplementation. That is why after treatment from hospitalisation , doctors give yeast packet , sachharomyces so that vitamins and essentials nutrients are absorbed by the stomach.
When zinc and selenium which are required for hair growth are not absorbed easily from the stomach, there is hair loss .
Also zinc deficieny and nutritional deficiency is seen as white patches on the face like that of fungal infection .
Hygienic conditions are hence a must. Children should be insisted on washing their hands with soap before food. In case of addiction to chocolates , the glucose in it helps in growth of worms. Hence deworming is suggested once in 6 months. subsequent to deworming , intake of juices and natural bacterial supplements is suggested.
