What Causes White Seed-like Objects In Stool?

I recently had a bowel movement in which there were a few peanut shaped white pieces in my stool. This hasn t happened before but I had recently eaten a lot of peanuts earlier in the week. I m unsure if it s a tapeworm or just the peanuts. Please help. I m a little bit of a hipocondriact and I m sort of freaking out

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have white seed-like objects in stool. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like parasitical infection . I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like stool test , ultrasound and endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions . Doctor may prescribe albendazole , hydroxychloroquine , crotamiton along with anti inflammatory . For now eat healthy , drink plenty of water and take one spoon of honey twice a day .
