A member asked:
I've had small white strings in my stool for 2+ weeks now. they are very short and very thin. are these worms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be worms.: Please visit your physician to obtain materials to give a stool sample for ova and parasites to find out. You can also bring one or more in a ziplock bag to show the physician. There are some things that are not well-digested that pass through into stool and give unusual appearances. Have you eaten anything different for the last 2 weeks?
