A member asked:

I have little round white dots in stool. are they eggs from a worm? if so what kind of worm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Travel history?: Did you travel outside the us? If you did not travel to a poor country, you do not have worms in your intestine. To know what the "round white dots" are would require stool examination by a laboratory.
