How do i make my [possibly] giardia infected son get tested?

He'll feel better: People who have giardiasis usually want to be tested because they feel so horrible. I don't know how old your son is, or whether he has the symptoms of giardiasis. If he does, then a simple treatment could make him feel a lot better.

Giardiasis: If he is feeling sick - let him know that treatment can end his symptoms. Giardiasis is a waterborne illness caused by Giardia parasite. Sx's – there may be no sx's or diarrhea, oily floating stool, gas, nausea, vomiting & abdominal cramps. If untreated it can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration & weight loss. Diagnosis- via blood test for antibodies & checking stool for parasites.
