Chronic Giardiasis Symptoms

Chronic giardiasis is a condition that can last for months, or even years. The giardiasis symptoms in this case can be different from those who develop an acute Giardia infection. Symptoms of chronic giardiasis include:
 
  • Increased gas (flatus)
  • Loose stools
  • Burping
  • Slowed growth
  • Dehydration.
     
These chronic symptoms may come and go or always be present.
