What Do White Strings In Stool Indicate?
Hello. Since I ate lamb a week ago, I have noticed white stringy things in my stool. My stool is hard, and my rectum is itchy after I have a bowel movement. I was on doxycycline for a month for Lyme disease. I have been off the medication for a week.

Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
*White streaks in stool indicate :
@ Soucer Warms infestation by lamb meat.
@ Absence / less amount of bile making stool to loss it`s normal color suggesting underlying Liver / Gall Bladder disorder.
@ Excess of mucus mixed with stool due to bowel inflammation.
*For differentiating what you have you will require detailed physical
evaluation along with basic work up of CBC & stool microscopic
examination.
*Till you do the same you should --
@ Avoid all oily / spicy / nonveg stuffs.
@ Drink plenty of liquids, maintain your hydration.
@ Avoid smoking / alcohol.
@ Can take simple antihistaminic tab. for rectal itching, high fiber diet with
green veg. for constipation.
Hope this clears your query.
