I can't attach pictures. But I have strings in my stool, looks like fish poop which is a string (bad comparison but bare with me) I have so many health issues from the stomach to mental. Doctors can't find what is wrong with me! I looked into worm signs I have like everything on the list.... Not sure what to do! But back the question is that worms? I also get a lot of mucus and white spots that look like sesame seeds (sometimes). Sorry for TMI but I need some light in this...

    Is it a string or a worm? It should not be difficult to diferentiate. See the pictures of hook worm on google which may give some idea.Stool test may also help in identifying the problem.

    Have you had a Liver function test to see if your liver is working properly . Have you had a colonoscopy to view the inside of your bowel?  Mucus and white spots are usually the signs that there is inflammation in the gut somewhere or that not enough bile is being produced for proper digestion.   A stool test would be helpful if worms are suspected.  

    Are you already taking any sort of medication?
