Brief Answer:

Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
There is nothing to worry.
It is likely to be denuded epithelium from the gut. This is perodical renewal of the mucosa of the large intestine.
You can cofirm it by getting a histopathology examination of the passed material.

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
I am sorry to note your predicament.
Polyarthritis involving hands and legs and sacroilitis causing severe backache are known to occur in inflammatory bowel disease. This along with your mother's history of colon cancer would warrant a colonoscopy as it would be screening for two diseases. Please request your doctor for the same.
Morphine produces drug dependence. So please try to reduce the dose. Try an inflammatory medicine like Diclofenac or Indomethacin to reduce your arthritis.
