If you're experiencing symptoms of giardiasis and you think you may be infected — especially if you have any of the common risk factors — talk to your doctor or healthcare provider today. He or she can provide the correct diagnosis and make sure that you get the treatment you need.
Giardiasis can be difficult to diagnose because its symptoms are similar to those of other infections.1 To correctly diagnose giardiasis, your doctor may ask you to provide stool samples.
Even if you're infected, you can expel Giardia organisms in some bowel movements and not others, so you may need to provide multiple stool samples taken over the course of several days.1 Your doctor will perform laboratory tests on the samples to detect Giardia organisms.
