Brief Answer:
Needs to be evaluated by tests.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
White tiny ball like particles in stools could be as a result of infection or parasite infestations or uncommonly candida growth.
It needs to be evaluated further by various tests like routine blood count with differential counts,ESR, stool for routine micro with ova/cyst to rule out any of the above possibility
However, before going into further discussion,I would like to know if you have any symptoms of diarrhea or nausea or stomach pain.
Further,I would advise to drink plenty of water and eat more foods with high in fibers (more salads and fruits like papaya, guava) -You may also require deworming with anti-helminthic drugs like albendazole 400 mg.
But it is better to undergo above mentioned tests first and then consult your GP with all those reports who will prescribe you this tablet.
