A member asked:

What to do if i have bad stomachs issues, white strands in stool?

Dr. Andrew Seibert answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

See your doctor.: The white strands in the stool and your stomach issues may be related to inflammation in the digestive tract. It is important to sort out the details anytime there is a change in the bowel habits at age 50. You should see your doctor or a gastroenterologist as soon as you can. Good luck.
