What Causes White Translucent Balls In The Stools?

I have been seeing these white balls in my stool. they are the size of green peas, maybe slightly larger, almost translucent. I usually oly pass one or maybe 2 when I go, and it is not everytime I go. I finally used some tweezers to take one out of the toilet to look at it more closely and was suprised because it was hard like a very thin plastic or egg shell. did not really see anything in it moving around or anything that looked like a worm. my bowel function has changed latelyand I seem to go more than I have in the past, but no blood and very soft stool but not diarrhea. I am on about 6 different meds, but have been on them for quite a while, the only thing new is I just finished weeks of antibiotics for foot infection. Does this sound like a parasite infection, and if so what kind.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it may not be parasites or anything biologically related but it must be the food particle it self, the only option you have it is sent the material or specimen for laboratory examination, but it is nothing to worry hope this information helps.
