A member asked:
I have what looks like small nuts or minced garlic in my stool daily. pieces are hard. normal bm always. tested negative 6 months ago for parasites.

Stool analysis: These bits may be some undigested food fragments or solidified mucus. Perhaps a stool specimen should be submitted to the laboratory for examination and another analysis for parasites can be done as well.
