i want to start by saying i have bad health anxiety. every once in a while i will see a piece of rice looking thing in my stool. i do not eat rice that much i do not take medication. a few months a ago i went to the dr for gas pains and watery stool. the dr said it was stress related and did not seem concerned. she didnt do test because she didnt feel the need to.

this has happened before and i do get stressed out easily and experience gas pains and thats about it.

is this a worm?? i hear to get any worms you have to ingest contaminated water or food which my water is from a bottle and as far as meat, not too much.

    I can't really tell much from your description without a photo. It sounds more like undigested food. However, you should take a photo if it happens again and take it to your doctor.
