Either your doctor or Public Health (free) can check you for giardia lamblia. It is done with a feces sample. If you had it while pregnant it should have been treated even though you were pregnant. When gone untreated it's side effects can be permenant and very damaging. I lost all ability to eat food and suffer from severe abdominal pain. If you have this you need treatment immediately! Please take the simple free test as soon as possible.
It is a parasitic infection of the upper small intestine caused by the organism Giardia lamblia. Often infection causes no symptoms, however it can be responsible for mild to severe diarrhea, abdominal cramping, bulky, greasy, frothy, foul smelling bowel movements and "rotten-egg" burps.
Not sure I'm not a health professional. I just Googled Rotten Egg Burps.
I went to gastroenterologist a couple months ago and he told me I had Giardia Lamblia which is an intestinal parasite. He gave me medication for it and said it would instantly go awat and the pain I feel and acidity would remove. He is completely wrong let me tell you, please help :( :( ive been like this almost 2 years now...
Can someone please shed some light on this as we have had someone tell us that her son had the same symptoms and had Giardia Lamblia parasite. Can this be the cause?
Thanks in advance

s are appearing across the board among those infected with Giardia Lamblia in the latest Euro studies? Could it be that a few of us with Type 1 are those that are the rare "Lifelong carriers" of Giardia Lamblia? If so, where might they be hiding? For those of you that might understand something about any of this, the question is not meant to be a joke, believe it or not.
Parasitic infestations like giardia lamblia, fructose intolerance can also cause sulphur burps. Other causes are celiac disease, Crohn’s disease etc. Diets high in protein, prescription medications and sub acute intestinal obstruction all can cause these symptoms. Your child should be given plenty of water to avoid dehydartion.Avoid processed and fast foods. If the cause of the burps is a bacterial infection, a course of antibiotic treatment may be needed. See a doctor. Keep me posted.
Get another parasite stool test. Sometimes you need 3 tests to detect parasites. Also, you could get a bacterial pathogens. Campylobacter jejuni, E. Coli 0157, Salmonella and Shigella are possible. Also cryptosporidium.You can see a infectious disease doctor.
It could be a food sensitivity like to milk etc.
I have been prescribed doxy for 21 days with follow ups every 2 weeks. Also have a high giardia lamblia count and am on a separate antibiotic for that as well. Fair enough, I came home from the doctors, hopped online tonight and saw what "rabbit scratch fever" is, it's rarity, as well how lethal it can be untreated. I don't know how long I've had it and am now late at night severely concerned.
H, inflammatory bowel syndrome (ASCA IGA, ASCA IGG, OMPC IGA, CBIR1 AB, NSNA PERINUCLEAR, DNASE IFA), Celiac disease antibody panel, INR - Prothrombin Time on Whole Blood, Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium parasite screen, fat stool screen, stool white blood cell, and stool culture. The test results were normal with the following exceptions: his Gliadin IGG, EIA was high(62), his Blood Urea Nitrogen was low (7), and his MCH was high (31.8).
PCR DNA test is not a standalone test and its not used for detection of HIV. It has high rate of false positives.
And to answer your earlier question "

Symptoms do not mean anything when it comes to HIV. Most of the symptoms that people post here could happen because of many different reasons.
The doctor prescribed Flagyl (metronidazole) after taking blood, urine and stool sample. He said blood and urine test looked normal., the stool test results hasn' t been released yet. I have started to loose weight and started to feel mild pain in my lower back and legs. Is my doctor on the right track ? Is it a parasite my problem or could this be caused by something else like krohn disease or pancreatic problem ? I really appreciate your comments. Thankyou for your help.
Nitazoxanide [generic for Alinia], licensed in the United States for treatment of Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia, inhibits hepatitis C virus replication in replicon systems...
Conclusions:
Nitazoxanide monotherapy is safe and effective in achieving sustained virologic response in a modest number of patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 4, particularly patients with low HCV RNA levels.
Did you check for autoimmune diseases? or parasites like Giardia Lamblia (it could cause loss of appetite and bad breath), parasites could also cause autoimmune diseases. Check your adrenal glands, my friend had an insanely high blood pressure for many years and couldn't find the reason. Finally they found a benign tumor on his adrenal gland which was the cause.
These symptoms come and go. I went to the Gastroenterologist, she did stool test, blood test and all were normal. I also have history of abnormal paps (ASCUS), HPV negative and colposcopy results were normal.
Also, I had two UTIs in the last 2 months. On the first time, I went to the doctor, did an quick exam, which showed an infection and I took Bactrim for 5 days.
I went back to my GI doctor and he scheduled me for an upper endoscopy and another giardia antigen stool test. The stool test came back negative. However during the upper endo, my doctor took a biopsy of my stomach and duodenum. He also saw a lot of inflammation of the duodenum. The biopsy of the tissue from my duodenum did show giardia under the microscope. I found this out today (01/05/09).
Hi All. I have been diagnosed with suspected Giardia (awaiting stool test results). I have been on Metronidazole for three days with minimal improvement. The D has stopped but still very nauseous and terrible burning/heartburn. Should I be feeling more of an improvement by now? Or could this be a side effect from the antibiotic? Also heartburn/burning in the stomach a symptom of Giardia? TIA.
I'd go ahead and do the fecal test if it were me. *I* had giardia along with my husband and at the time 1 year old son. Nightmare. Imagine changing diapers for my son with a parasite! We got it at a farm party along with about 70 other people who all also ate that dang fruit salad washed in tainted water. My husband and son had the fecal testing done. I didn't. I also did not take medicine for it and my husband and son did.
Stool can be loose and cause the dog to continue to strain after elimination or it can be mixed with large amounts of mucus and/or blood. The test for this condition must look for the toxin, NOT just the bacteria. The test for the toxin requires a larger sample than is needed for a routine stool check, is expensive to have done and is often sent out to a speciality lab BUT if it is positive you have the advantage of knowing what you are treating.
