Loose Bowels With Waxy Objects, Changed Diet With Increase In Leafy Green Intake. Should I Worry ?
OK... I have recently (past 2 weeks) changed my diet to one where I have cut out most all processed foods and have increased my vegetable and leafy greens intake. I am already feeling better in general. My question is in regards to bowel elimination today. It was a bit loose, but not like diarrhea , however the worrying part is that I noticed 6-7 floating white objects that were a little larger than a jelly bean among the rest. They had a waxy appearance and there seemed to be no unusual smell. Is this something I should worry about?

The floting white objects caused by Hook worm infestation.The bitterness contant greens may dilute the bowel and eliminate the worms also.Intestinal mucosa will float with stools due to ulceration of stomach.
Under go complete motion examination for further investigation.
