What Does Capsule Like Object In Stool While Having Diabetes And Hypertension?

I noticed while capsule like object in my stool, almost every week. About an inch in size and perfectly shaped like capsule, its fluffy. It floats in the commode. I am diabetic and take Metformin (500 mg in morning, 1000mg at night). I also take antihypertensives - Olmesartan and Nebivolol once a day.

HI
Well come to HMC
It is very difficult to say anything without the exact observation of the thing but this could be normal one, some time this could be due to impaction of some food particles, may be some fat material, in very rare case this could be "worms" to clear the doubt this need to be sent for laboratory examination, hope this information helps, take care.
