Update... Still getting yellow balls in stools [with images]
Posted , 212 users are following.
Hello everyone,
If you've seen my previous discussion from last year, you will know I was having problems with undigested food, strands of fibre and these yellow balls in my stool.
After eliminating dairy and going vegan once again, the symptoms cleared up for a bit. However, after a couple months, the strands of fibre and yellow balls have come back!
I'm once again worried about these yellow balls - they're a bit hard to touch, but squidgy and semi-solid in the middle (it's not sweetcorn - the balls are bigger, plus I haven't eaten any in the past week to rule this out anyhow). They appear more so when my stools are harder but can also appear in soft stools.
Is anybody experiencing similar symptoms or does anyone have any ideas about what these could be?
Pictures are below.

i think it does not matter whether it's food gallstones or whatever it is, it's exaserbated you and left you confused. ring your doctor as you need answers regardless, until you know what this is how can you move forward. i felt the same knowing i had something worse than IBS! good luck, contact back once you know what it is.

hi, I have been researching for a long time about this as this has happened to me twice within the last year.. the first time it happened it looked like a yellow starburst my toilet. I was so curious I had to take a look.. I am still amazed at how my body was able to make something so perfect in structure . It was soft like cheese , a perfect square but when I broke it open it had a bright white powder inside that smelled like methane ... about 6 months later it happened again but the shape was different , this time it was oval but same consistency and same thing on the inside. it blows my mind , I have no idea what it is !!! any help would be appreciated ..

I know - I was floored too when this happened to me - but now that I am off venlafaxine I no longer experience this.

I have the exact same thing, on and off for about a year now. I've had Ulcerative Colitis for 17 years, I do not eat corn or chickpeas ever, and haven't for 20 years. The only medication I take is Percocet and Imuran, neither are capsule. I'm lactose intolerant, never drink milk but occasionally eat cheese. As far as I know my gallbladder is fine. I always know when I'm about to pass one of these things bc I have the most awful cramps you could imagine. I'm glad I found this post, I was beginning to think I was the only person in the history of the human race who had this problem.

have you asked for every possible test? keep going until you get some medical support and show your doctor what this is like too. this still looks wrong to my mind, a dietitian may tell you better what this is.

This is the first place Ive found any info on these! I have Lyme disease and have done a lot of detox as part of my treatment the past 3 years. Ive shown 3-4 doctors and none had ANY idea what they could be. The most information I got was that it definitely wasnt a parasite.
But the only time I ever get them is if:
Im doing a detox.
I've just or recently had a colonic or enema.
My stool is always loose, or all Im releasing is the water or coffee from the enema and my 'poop pearls'
And I've always been on PRISTIQUE when I've seen them
My point is that they never randomly show up. Only under these conditions. And as others have shown the outer layer is a soft slimey whitish color. and the inside is bright white and chalky. They are often different sizes some pretty big At least much bigger than a pristique tablet.
I actually passed one at the doctors office today and asked them to have it tested. If i get any information I'll share

I had this for the first time today. I have also been experiencing a lot of mucous in my stool. I do take Wellbutrin daily. Has anyone found answers from the previous forum? The gentleman stating they are tapeworm eggs has me a little concerned. Any new findings or thoughts?
