DS is 7 and announced tonight that he's noticed "creatures" moving in his poo for the last week or so. Looked between his legs just after he'd been tonight and sure enough, there was a tiny white worm moving around.
I feel terrible that I haven't noticed for a week but he has food allergies and poos are normally pretty loose and pale with bits of undigested food in so it's not like a tiny bit of white would stand out once it's gone into the water. It was only because he made me look before it had all gone under the water that I saw it.
Anyway, for the last week his tummy has been more upset than normal and he's had bad tummy aches in the evening and he's been scratching his torso a lot (but not round his bum). I've assumed it was some allergen he's managed to come into contact with but now I'm wondering if the worms would cause the tummy aches (plus both me and DH have felt ill all today) or whether it's just coincidence.
