What Could It Be If Bowels Had Strings Like Noodles In It?

I just had a bowel movement a little bit ago. I cleaned myself up and was getting ready to pour a bath. I turned back to flush the toilet and found that my feces had separated a little bit and there was a large cluster of what looked like noodles! I looked at many pictures and it doesn't look like any sort of typical worm or parasite. Could anything else be the cause?
I'm not sure if it matters but I am a 24 year old female and my health is pretty good. Could exercise more and eat a little better, but overall I'm pretty average.

Hi...

Welcome to healthcare magic.

As you mentioned you have problem of string stool problem that may be because of intestinal parasites infection or Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis or other reasons....

Low fiber foods in diet and lack of water intake may ruled out...
Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis.
Stool sample test to check any infection present or not...
Blood test for celiac disease..
Detail history and investigation give exact idea about problems...

I hope this will help.
Get well soon..
Thank you.
