You'llNeedYrDoc4This: First, consider your diet.What could pass through undigested (coconut flakes or shreds;bits of something eaten inadvertently).Next consider that maybe they're not flakes but something else,like mucus or products of inflammation(you have any cramps?).Maybe a parasite like small worms (pinworms; threadworms), but whatever's going on,you'll need to have a stool sample sent to a lab for analysis.
