Several weeks back i noticed these weird dark rope like strands in my stool. i assumed it'd go away in its own but after continuing to notice them i finally decided to glove up and take a closer look. The only way i can explain is they're like fatty/rubbery 3-4in strands of fat with a rope like texture. I'm the master at using the internet to identify issues but its been almost 2 months and i've had no luck. The closest description i could find was rope worm but also read it's a myth? if my stool is loose theyll come out by themselves otherwise i can see them wrapped up in my otherwise normal stool. Does anyone know what this might be? Is it possible im pooping out strands of my intestine? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
