Could Flat, Stingy Band-like Substance In Stool Indicate Worms?

Having just been to the loo i noticed a weird thing - it looked like a clear, long, flat stringy thing, or an elastic band type thing? What could this be? I am a bit worried it is a worm? I've been eating a lot more recently and feeling more hungry, but I put this down to my period as this happens before I come on my period, and I have period pains and bloating, but I just thought this was my period
