Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Stringy poop may be due to colorectal malignancy or fecal impaction, colon polyps trapped abdominal hernias, anorectal strictures, or a narrowing between the rectum and anus distended, or stretched.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care
