A member asked:
I started passing tissue like substance in my stools, they are pale and sometimes looks like (salmon color) chunks scared?

Unsure: stool can be so different and varied. If new for you and a change from normal for you, schedule an appointment with a gastroenterologist. Wouldn't be overly alarmed with what you are describing, but should get it looked at.

See a doctor: If you are passing what looks like tissue in your stools, please see a doctor as soon as possible. Your doctor will take a full history, perform an examination, and recommend appropriate tests, likely a colonoscopy.
