Is Undigested Food In The Bowel A Concern?
Question: IHi, can I answer your health question? Please type your question here...I have been noticing a almond shaped object sometimes when I have a bowel movement. What is this ? I am diabetic and I am on Janumet.
Brief Answer:
Need more details
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It is fewer information to name it or guess the object.
Would you like to say its color? What is the size? Is it hard or soft? Is there a recent change in the diet pattern or diet? Do you have pain passing stool? Is it floating or separatable from the rest of the stool.
I suggest to wear a glove and pick it to understand the nature of it. If possible take a picture and upload it here.
It could be a clot if it is dark. If it is white it could be mucus.
Janumet would not be related to it.

I don’t hurt or anything when I go to the bathroom. The object that came out my rectum was soft and orangey in color and shaped like a large almond. I cut it open and it was a white firm substance in the inside. How can I upload you a picture of it?

Photos
Detailed Answer:
There is an upload feature on the right side panel of this page. It says upload. Please click and select the image from your computer or XXXXXXX and upload it.
Else you can send to YYYY@YYYY with subject as ATTN Dr Parinam.
It looks to be something that you had eaten or food substance. Let me confirm after seeing it.

Brief Answer:
Food item
Detailed Answer:
Sorry for the delay in my answer,
It looks like the undigested food item.
I feel it is an undigested food item that you ate previous day knowing or unknowing. Most times we have people in the clinic who cannot recollect if they had such item.
So don't worry now.
Regards
