What Are The Particles That Look Like Seeds In The Bowel Of A 6 Year Old?

My 6 year old daughter came home from school with her pants that she had an accident in. It was diarreah and looks like hundreds of sesame seeds/ tiny beans. they are smaller than sesame seeds. I have never seen this before. She hasnt eaten any sesame seeds. Nothing was moving but the accident had happened many hours ago. Should I wait and try to examine her next bowel? Could this be a parasite?

Hi...this could be a parasite infestation or an acute watery diarrhea probably of viral origin. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
