HELP! Root/Stick like things in stool. PHOTOS.

Posted , 43 users are following.

Every time i go to the toilet i have these weird things in clumps in my stool. after ive had a closer inspection i can only describe them as looking like roots from a plant, with the same texture as a branched stick. they're not alive, and they don't move, someone PLEASE shed some light??!!!

Will attach photos as soon as I figure out how to!

    you might have a worm infestation ie threadworm which can be sorted with ovex from the chemist  but I would send a stool sample to a lab just to see what the problem is.

      that idea of candida could be a possibility as fungal growths are like a cobweb networking across stuff as they spread.  you may need anti fungal tablets or cream
