looks like worm infestation

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.

A have read your query and understand your concern.

Passing white tissue like substances in stools is a sign of worm infestation (mostly tape worm) and you need to get dewormed for that, by taking tablets like albendazole. But you need to see your local doctor for the prescription.

Also eat properly washed and cooked food, specially non-veg items to prevent recurrance.

Hope that i have been helpful.

Regards,
Dr. Deepika Patil
