What Causes White Seed Like Particles In Stool?

Hi, I am at work and have just been to the toilet. I have just had a stool and, there was nothing painful about it, no constipation or anything. For the past week I have been eating a lot of wholegrain seeded bread and I wondered if it was that, I noticed numerous different, what appeared to be seed-like in the stool, some brown almost like a tear shape, and some yellowish-white. I drink a lot of water on a daily basis. I don t drink carbonated soda drinks, my diet is very good, eat a lot of fruit and veg, regularly broccoli cooked with garlic, thats a favorite, quite a bit of peanut butter on toast (which is wholegrain seeded bread). I m just a little concerned... is this normal? Thanks

Hello,

White seed like particles in the stool indicate possible issue with:
- Malabsorption disorder
- Digestive enzyme deficiencies
- Gut flora alterations
- Prokinetic disturbances
- Intestine infection with worms or others

It is best recommended to take a stool routine microscopy examination with a lab person for the final diagnosis and further management.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
