There's CD for Becker's advanced series, but I only bought the book. I regretted the decision so I tried to look for only the CD in the major bookstores in bangkok, but alas, I failed to find it.
Why not order them? The contact address is in the book.

Do you eat rare Thai beef? You can also get pork and fish tapeworms. The pork ones are the worst, but most people cook pork well.

I'd say the fish ones (liver flukes) are the worst. You don't notice them and they cause liver cancer. They are very easy to get rid off though with Biltricide. I've been given this medication as a precaution twice already.

....I'd start by eliminating both dairy and gluten. If that works then restart one of the two gradually, if it recurs you have your answer, if not then restart the second one and ditto.

You need to test both, as gluten intolerance very often comes with lactose intolerance. Finding out you have a lactose intolerance does not tell you that you are ok with gluten.

IBS is the diagnosis that means "we don't know what is causing your problems".

Make sure they test you on gluten intolerance. I'm not sure doctors in Thailand are celiac aware, as in the past Thais hardly used to eat any gluten.

It is estimated that only 10% of the people suffering from celiac disease are diagnosed so far. IBS is a frequent misdiagnosis for celiac.

Cold pressed Virgin Coconut Oil seems to help as well. To be applied directly after shower when the skin is still moist.
