10 Giardia Symptoms

Symptom #2: Excess Gas
Too much gas can be a little embarrassing, but it is still very natural. Gases in the digestive system are created by bacteria as they break down the food. It is also sometimes caused by ingesting too many carbonated drinks. If the gas builds up too much then the body will need to pass it out of the body. This results in flatulence and/or burping.
With giardia infecting the digestive system, the parasite will produce gas in much the same way that our healthy bacteria do. This can build up to excessive levels and it will need to be passed out of the body eventually. The symptom should pass once the infection has been dealt with.
