What Is White Worm Like On Toilet Paper After Having Flagyl For Positive C Diff?
I was tested for c diff and it came back positive. I am now on my 2nd round of flagyl, and I have a low grade temp of 99.9. I noticed that both times I've taken this medication, my stool looks suspicious. I notice small 1/2 inch white looking worms on the toilet paper. At first I thought it was just the t.p. balling up when I wiped but then I noticed a couple on my stool in the water. Is this just from the meds or is there a parasite concern.

welcome to hcm,
Hopefully the worms are coming out. send a sample for testing if you find next time. if it is confirmed that that is worm only you may need benzimidazole drugs for parasitic worm manifestations.
hope this explains
