Last month i had a change in my bowel movements. i was finding white tissue attached to my stool and still am every so often. what could cause this?

Interesting!: This could be any number of issues- You will need to see your physician to be evaluated. White "tissue" could be food debris, toilet paper, even intestinal parasites! The only way to know is to discuss this with your physician. He/She may ask for a stool sample to analyze in the lab.

A member asked:
Last night I had a bowel movement and after I wiped, there was blood on the tissue and the water was bright red. I don't feel any pain at all outside of the initial movement coming out. I'm 25. Should I be worried or was it just due to a large stool?
