Something swallowed: Sometimes we swallow hair, or things in food that we did not know we were eating. If that doesn’t dissolve or get altered in the digestion process, it will,show up in stool. Corn is such an example. If this was a string, you swallowed it.

Food fiber: It was likely a fiber in the food you ate. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
