A member asked:

Do worms grow in our stomachs? i have been pooping 5-6 times a day and it's kinda lose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sort of: There are worms (parasites) that can live in our intestinal tract. Some of them can cause diarrhea. If you see something moving in your movements get it tested for parasites. There are many other causes for loose poops, however. Good luck!
