Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had diarreah for a few days and thought it was just a bug. but it gets better then the next time I eat, it have to go to the bathroom immediately. I do not have a history of ibs or chrones. In my stool I have seen what looks like white mucous ribbon worm things. What is this!!! How can I get rid of this.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As I always say that the consistency and color of fecal material are always due to the diet taken and if this is creating some doubt then it has to get confirmed and for that fecal material needs to be sent for testing because what you see could be very much different in what comes out in testing, if there is worm confirmed then anthelmintic can be taken according to species or worm.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Akhtarhusain
