Brief Answer:
Could be worms, cysts, ova etc.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. The tiny beads could be ova, cysts or worms. They could also be simple undigested matter. I would insist you to get your stool tested (make sure that the white beads are there in the sample you collect).

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
