Are tapeworms a sticky subject? Pinterest-ed in pinworms? If you’ve been going down the same wormhole for years, it’s time to see the light.
One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is: How do I get rid of worms naturally? Many people assume that worms only affect children, but the truth is that adults can get them too. While kids are often more susceptible due to less diligent hygiene practices and close contact in school settings, adults can also pick up intestinal parasites through travel, contaminated food, and everyday interactions.
Intestinal worms, also known as parasitic worms, are organisms that feed off the human body. The most common varieties include:
Symptoms of worm infestations vary but may include:
In rare cases, severe infestations can cause blockages in the intestines, leading to constipation and increased pain (CDC, 2023).
While scientific studies do not currently confirm the effectiveness of natural remedies for worms, many people have found success with dietary and lifestyle changes.

Raw vegetables like carrots, beetroot, and leafy greens can promote bowel movement and help flush out unwanted guests. Combining them with coconut oil may enhance their effect.Â

DE is composed of microscopic silica particles that may help cleanse the gut. Many people have shared success stories of using Love Your Gut powder (food-grade diatomaceous earth) to support their digestive system.
How to Use Love Your Gut Powder: I recommend taking the powder daily for one month, as worm infections can be contagious for up to three weeks. A common protocol includes:
