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!

    Has anyone found an answer to this? This is the only place I've been able to find anyone going through the same thing as me. I've been finding the same straw/twig like things in my stool and in the shower for 3 years now and have had those random skin rashes that come and go for even longer. Along with that my anal region has been inflamed and itchy for the same amount of time. I'm at a loss, there's no way any doctors would believe me, I had a colonoscopy 2 years ago and they found ulcers but said I was fine.

      Hi Michael,

      i have same thing going on, at first I wasnt paying attention and the "twigs" were thinner and smaller but today I found, or better to say extracted in the shower after BM, quite long and thick one. Very hard in consistency.

      I am clueless but it definitely looks like something I ate which just comes out undigested - problem is that I have not.

      I saw somewhere in this post that somebody, I think it was Crystal, described excatly same thing, also happening in the shower post bowel movement, she wrote she took a pic to show to the doctor but has never come back.

      Did you every explain / show this to your doctor, since it is lasting for such a long time already?

      thanks
