What Are The Symptoms Of Giardia?
I am a 51 year old female in good health. Last weekend I came down with chills that lasted two days. since then, I've had diarrhea every day. The diarrhea comes out with undigested food and a forceful gush of yellow, foamy water. Today for the first time it was semi-solid stool, but it was pale yellow. Also, my stomach is queazy and my burps feel "acidic." Also, I have some gas and perhaps bloating. would you say it could be giardia? Other than the symptoms I've described, I feel fine.

Hi..
Welcome to healthcare magic.
According to your complain you have problem of diarrhea and abdominal bloting problem that may be because of parasitic infection like giardia or other reasons.
Complete blood cell count and stool examination test is helpful for further diagnosis.
Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis.
Take care.
Thank you.
