You poor thing! I have been through a similar experience, but in reverse. You see I got giardia, a parasite, and then got rid of it. Then about a year later, I traveled to Nicaragua where I got another parasitic infection but it was a mysterious parasite. No one ever identified it. I was out on Flagyl after two months of doctors trying to identify the type of parasite. I gained weight, even though I was unable to really eat, and was deathly ill for months. As a result of all of this, I now have IBS. In retrospect, I think I may have developed IBS in between the two parasitic infections. Who knows!!
I too have other chronic illnesses and can relate to where you're coming from not wanting anymore! Hang in there. Follow the diet closely or as well as you can. Eat what you can tolerate and keep the doctors informed about everything. They can brush so many of these things off as in my case and then you are left to suffer. Best of luck and feel better soon.
