What Causes White Substance In Stool After Taking Metformin?

For the past two months since started on metformin, there are these things in my stool that look like undigested peanuts. Its usually one or two of them of same color and size of shelled peanut but spongy. What is that and should I be concerned? I dnt have any other symptoms
