• Weakness

  Intestinal worms produce a wide range of symptoms including intestinal manifestations (diarrhoea, abdominal pain), general malaise and weakness. Hookworms cause chronic intestinal blood loss that result in anaemia. [who.int]

  Intestinal parasites produce a variety of symptoms in those affected, most of which manifest themselves in gastrointestinal complications and general weakness. [en.wikipedia.org]

  Autoinfection and rapid reproduction of the worms in situ result in a brisk increase in the worm population particularly in malnourished or immunocompromised children, who become more weak and emaciated and suffer from diarrhoea and abdominal pain. [apps.who.int]

  They frequently include diarrhea, pale greasy stools, stomach cramps, gas, nausea, vomiting, bloating, weight loss, and weakness. Some people may experience explosive, foul smelling diarrhea. Fever, rash, and joint pain are less common. [medbroadcast.com]

  Long‐term glucocorticoid usage is often associated with prolonged and debilitating, systemic adverse effects such as osteoporosis, muscle weakness, cataracts, osteonecrosis, cushingoid appearance and weight gain ( Podolsky 2002 ). [cochranelibrary.com]

• Overeating

  The patient continued to have frequent binge episodes and inappropriate eating patterns, gaining weight consequently over a normal range, despite successful treatment of the condition. No purging behavior was detected. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  If untreated, the illness may last over a month and could continue over a recurring cycle. To test for the presence of cyclospora, stool specimens must be collected and sent to a laboratory. Cases have been reported across 27 states this summer. [cnn.com]

  WHO recommends annual treatment in areas where prevalence rate of soil-transmitted helminthiases is between 20% and 50%, and, a bi-annual treatment in areas with prevalence rates of over 50%. [who.int]
