What Do Mucus Strands In Stool Indicate After Doing A Detox?

Hi, I am doing a detox and have done a number of colonics. In my latest one I saw white mucous like strands come out... Am fairly certain it wasn't worms but wondered if it was something I should worry about or just a natural part of the cleanse? Thanks Sam

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, what ever you find in stool it could be due to diet taken and it creating doubt for some worm then stool need to be sent for lab test, no need to take any medicine without confirmation of disease, in such cases gross examination is the only way to confirm the ill condition hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
