Hi....

Welcome to healthcare magic.

As you mentioned you have problem of string in stool that may be because of low fiber diet and lack of water intake .

If you have problem present more than one week with abdominal symptoms than diagnose it.
Intestinal parasitic infection like giardia cause this type of symptoms.

Stool sample test is helpful to check parasitic infection.
Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis.
Detail history and investigation give exact idea about problems.

I hope my guidance helpful to you..
Get well soon..
Thank you.
