What Causes Frequent Bowel Movements With Passage Of A String In Stools?

every few weeks i go through a day where i have numerous bowel movements all day long and near the end I am leaving what looks like a curled up piece of string covered in fecal material with little fecal matter but still feel cramped. I donty have diarhea but rather loose stools when this happens. Its an effort to defecate and i am exhausted by the 6th trip to bathroom. I have had fecal samples taken and they dont ever come up positive for parasites. Could it be a parasite that is hiding and cant be found in a standard test.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Your query will be highly appreciated, I had gone through the history given here, if you do not have any symptoms and you are finding something in stool then it may not be due to any illness.
The consistency of stool, and color of stool is due to the diet taken again if the stool examination does not find anything then it is nothing to worry,
Parasite is very easy to detect in stool if ever presented in your case if it is absent then it may not be there.
What ever you see in fecal material may not be the matter of worry if you do not have any symptom, and most important is stool test that clears doubt, else from the given history nothing can be said for sure.
hope this information helps.
