The reason that I was asking about the regurging is that it sounds kind of like crypto. If they regurge a food item, you can take that in to be tested as well (YUK!).
You mentioned lung worms -- one of my adults had that once and it just took 3 doses of panacur to wipe it out and none of my other snakes got it. The snake didn't really become dehydrated at all in the meantime either. I'm no vet, but it sounds like it's more than just worms to me. Crypto requires a specific acid-fast test of the fecal sample so you would need to tell the vet to look for this (ie. they don't always test for crypto when doing a regular fecal).
Good luck!
