Hi this is a gross question but lately i have been noticing a couple tan/whitish seed like specks in my stool. i thought it was undigested food at first but it keeps happening and now im worried. everything else seems normal. should i be worried?

Specks in stool: These could be hardened pieces of mucus and not parasites. Presence of mucus is not pathological especially if you have no bowel symptoms. I think you're ok but continue observing your stool for any other abnormalities.
