Did I have Giardia as a kid?

Question

Asked for Male, 24 Years

I found something on the Internet that made me remember an issue when I was 11. For 6 weeks one summer, I had frequent bowel movements. Sometimes 3x an hour, certainly a dozen a day. I don't remember much. Definitely green in colour, possibly some yellow. I do remember undigested food being passed within 12 hours. At the time I though it was salmonella; but never saw a doctor. I went to water parks and beaches frequently. Symptoms suddenly went away after 5 or 6 weeks. Did I have giardia?
