Travel history?: If you did not travel abroad, it is highly unlikely that you have an intestinal worm. What you noticed may be undigested fiber. If you have no symptoms, it should not be a cause for concern. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco or alcohol in any form. Practice safe sex.
