What Would The White Shreds That Remain In Toilet After Bowel Movement Be?

Last night and today when I have gone to the bathroom with a bowel movement I have noticed a tiny white thing about 1/2 inch. It looks like a little wet piece of toilet paper kind of. Doesn't move on its own, stays towards the top of the water. kind of looks like it has little shreds/stringy all over it.

Hi, your description suggests a worm infestation. Tab Albendazole is a good deworming agent which can be consumed as a single bed time dose.
If you have any other symptoms related to abdomen, you can get a stool sample test done, which is not necessary if you don't have any other complaints.
