I passed a stool with a green, flaky texture in it, why is this? [graphic picture included]

I have been to the GP a few times about bowel issues, as I tend to have problems with bloating and my stools. However today I passed a very unusual stool that concerned me. Does anyone know if this is to be anything of concern? (Picture attached below)

    Looks like undigested food and mucus.

    Most probably you have digestive issues that could range from a simple infection to other infections like parasites.

    Consult a gastroenterologist.
