Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Your doctor can arrange for stool examination to sort the issue. It would be prudent to see your doctor. From what you described you are unlikely to have parasites. What you see may be undigested food particles. Wish you good health!
