What Does Grey Particles And Changing Characteristics Of Stool Indicate?
I have recently been diagnosed with collagenous colits after having a colonoscopy, but have been having problems for over a year. I saw on line about Giardiasis after typing in how my stool has changed. I noticed particals in the stool that are gray in color and looked like a cyst (about a quarter inch around and oblong). They outside was like a grape skin and inside was nothing but wet. Could it possibly be Giardiases or another form of parisite instead of Colitis?

Please get your stool checked for ova and parasites to confirm your doubt.
Also colitis requires a lifestyle modification in
