Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about as of now, keep an eye out for recurrences
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. The strings are most certainly not parasite, so if you were wondering that then this is not the cause. It is most probably the inner lining of your GIT (gastrointestinal tract) that must be exhausted from first all the diarrhea due to the antibiotics and now bad food.
I would say just keep an eye out for any future occurrences, and write back to me if it does continue for more than about 2-3 days. If this happens then we will require a stool analysis. For now, try to eat clean, safe and fresh food.
Please also do not think twice or hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
