Already answered: I have personally already answered your question, yet you continue to submit. I now suggest that you see a GI specialist for a stool exam to check content. I have already mentioned that this can be undigested fiber from diet. You will need an anal exam ( anoscopy ) and a rectal exam. You should not "shop" for answers" online. This is not a diagnostic site, rather informational.
