A member asked:
I see white stuff attached to my stools. appears like small white cotton balls and doesn't appear like any fluid. is it candida or just mucous ?.

Have to see it: Hi! Small amount of mucus in stool can be normal. Rectal/anal candidiasis would give you other symptoms. If this issue persists, it would be most helpful if you see a doctor and bring a sample of stool with you (in a small clean jar, can keep tightly closed in fridge for 3-5 days).
