What Causes Brown String Like Substance In Stool?
Hi I have noticed a brown string in my stool, I m thinking it s parasite. I ran to diagnostic center with it, they said they placed it in alcohol and it almost dissolved but there was a clear sting visible, we are waiting to test results. Are there any types of food that cause stringy stool or I have parasites?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is the food residual only and it may not be the parasite. If this needs to be clear the stool need to be examined for larva and the presence of larva is the sign of parasite otherwise, no need to worry about this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
