What Is The Long Brown Strings In The Stools With Abdomen Cramps?
Hi. Yesterday morning I noticed a long brown rubbery thing in my stool. I have had diarrhea and stomach cramps, weird feelings around my anus like a tingley feeling, and around my stomach. I went to the hospital and they treated me like was crazy and ran NO tests. Sent me with a prescription that is 400 dollars. I m scared and don t know what to do.

HI.
This can be due to worms or a desquamated mucosal lining.
You should have preserved it and shown to your Doctors and also sent for the histo-pathology examination.
Well, if you are alright now complete the course of medicines your Doctors have given .
Go for the usual tests, CT scan of the abdomen as the iodine in the contrast kills many worms and are delineated to be seen on CT.
You have to get your stool checked for 3 consecutive days.
