What Causes Trouble In Passing Stools With Stools Covered In Film?

I just went to the bathroom, and it was harder to pass feces than it has been for a while. I looked down and happened to see something in with the poop. I took a closer look and it looked like a film over it. What could it be?

Hello,

The most possible cause of film over stool is consistency related issue from alteration in gut flora mechanics, possible intestine infection or else.

We recommend you to consume more liquids, high fiber diet for 48 hours and later if same issue, consult a doctor otherwise not required.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
