What Can The Stringy Bits In Bowel Be?
Hi, my bowel movements are every 2 days. Today its a bit like sheeps poo, with one large piece which has a few 3 inch stringy bits sticking out of it. I havent been cutting down but not out carbs for the past 4 days but thats the only change in my diet. What can the stringy bits be? They are not thin like thread worms, ive seen them. Thanks.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, most of the time it could be the diet taken and if it is really rule out the possibility of something else than this then physical examination is the option without this nothing can be said for sure if the thing keeps expelling out then stool needs to be sent for examination else the single incidence could be due to the diet taken and it is nothing to worry hope this information helps.
