Suggest The Symptoms For Intestinal Parasites

Recently I have had multiple bouts of diarrhea. I had a colonoscopy a few days ago and my gastrologist said that she found nothing in my intestinal track and my colon looks ok. I haven t heard whether she found crones but I was wondering if I have some kind of intestinal parasite that would be causing it. Can you please tell me what the symptoms would be for intestinal parasites? Thank you. Catherine
