2. Bloating and Gas
Bloating and gas are yet another very common symptom that you may have a parasite. Although most of the time, bloating and gas are usually associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) rather than a parasite infection since many of the signs are similar to each other, as well as other health conditions like diabetes, eating disorders, constipation, celiac disease, and even colon cancer. But when the bloating and gas is due to a parasite, it’s because the infection causes a build-up of gas in the GI tract that causes the bloating and normally a distended stomach at the same time.
