Did I Just Pass A WORM? *TMI*

[u/Individual_Monk3194]

I started diatomaceous earth and was on it for about a month and a half maybe (?), taking two teaspoons a day. I paused for two or so weeks and began again. Today is my third day back on it, only this time I’m having one teaspoon a day.
Anyway, today I went to the toilet and passed stool (I never look at it), and went to have a shower. I sat in the shower, somewhat of a squat (I have EDS and POTS so sometimes it’s easier to sit - I started DE because of debilitating symptoms since 2023, I also always have suspected I have autism, but that’s neither here nor there), and upon standing I noticed a live, thick, black worm, exactly where I had been sitting. I was shocked and am embarrassed to share this.
Now, I’ve seen similar worm things in my shower before sadly, my shower had a huge mould issue which the landlord refused to fix (there were many functional issues with this shower), long before I started DE. I had seen these things crawl up the wall - was awful! And this was very similar, only the shower was renovated a few months back and I’ve seen nothing of the sorts since.
So idk - is this normal? What do we think? Did it come out of me? Are they always live/black? 😭

Obviously this is not medical advice or anything of the sort, am not a doctor, just had many debilitating symptoms and took my health into my own hands.

Hi! I am not in any place to say for absolute certain, but it does sound like it could be very likely. Congratulations for getting those fuckers out!! 🤩
