What Causes Grey Worms In Stool?
I'm 29 and have been having severe diarrhea for about 2 weeks. I've had diverticulitis in the past but the pain hasn't been that severe. I've tried modifying my diet, eating yogurt and lots of fiber but nothing seems to be helping. Tonight when I went to the bathroom it looked like there were several grey worm or eel like things in it. What could this be???

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to Parasites.
Some advice that I can give to you is:
-Do a stool test
-Do a complete blood count to confirm the cause
Treatment consists of Metronidazole drug after the diagnosis is confirmed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
