What Can Be The Reason For Unusual Bowel Movement?
I passed a strange stool today. I had a piece of normal looking BM as usual, but when I wiped, there was a long (4-5 inch long) piece of stringy, greenish tinted fibrous mass...it looked about like a vanilla bean, but with a dark greenish hue and it looked twisted and it was soft..and could be easily broken apart. It looked like a long thin mass of cooked spinach. Any idea what this could be?

Hi,
Seems to be fiber content of the diet passed through the gut and less likely a worm. However, a stool microscopy test is recommended here.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
