Hi,

Welcome to XXXXXXX

Poorly digested fiber XXXXXXX diet can give furry appearence to the stools.

Anti amoebic drug like metronidazole or tinidazole is when taken for many days, can also give furry appearence to stool.

Routine stool test is required to know the cause of furry/hairy apearence of stool.

Hope, I have answered your query. If you have further query, please feel free to ask.
