-Giardiasis is caused by the parasite Giardia lamblia. Chronic infection can cause:
Diarrhea or semi-solid stools
Bloating and excessive gas
Foul-smelling stools
Malabsorption leading to weight loss or vitamin deficiencies
Since you’ve had it for more than a year, it’s considered chronic giardiasis, which can be more stubborn to treat.
