A member asked:
I have been having strings in my poop. what are some possible causes? i'm seeing a doctor soon but i'd still like to know some possible causes.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be : Dietary or other causes. Some foods like bananas will create strings in the poop. It is also possible that you have an intestinal parasite. Your doctor will likely send specimens of your poop to test for ova and parasites.
