Worm: What you are describing sounds like a tapeworm. Tapeworms are segmented and occasionally pieces break off and are excreted in the stool, they are white and could appear like macaroni. I suggest calling your doctor and getting a stool sample sent for ova and parasites. Here is some more info: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001391.htm
