Ive found lots of yellow twiggy stringy things in my poop and in bowl.
Brief Answer:
Get a stool examination done.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
This could be undigested food or remains of worms. Have you had similar episodes earlier or any abdominal pain? In either case you should consult your Doctor and give your Stool sample for Routine and Microscopic examination. There is no need to get alarmed and it can be managed. Also, do let us know if there was any similar or highly fibrous in the content of your food in the past 24 to 36 hours.
I usually advice my patients deworming medicines like Albendazole chewable tablets after dinner for three days. When you consult your Doctor you can discuss deworming with him.
Do observe your stools for the next few days to see whether it is similar or normalised. Sometimes live worms can also come out if there is a worm infestation in your intestine. They are like long string like things which can show some movement if left in water in the toilet.
Take care and do let me know.
