A member asked:

Tiny black string/small worm like shape pieces in stool not stringy. some white pieces too.is it blood in stool, parasitic infection,something i ate?

Need exam: The best answer will require pictures and examination of your stool. In our practice it is not uncommon to send the stool for examination of parasites especially if there is concern for blood. Good luck and please get checked.
