On Fruits And Veggie Diet, Have White Flakes In Stools. What Is The Cause?
Hi Dr XXXX I have been on a vegi n fruits diet for the last 4 days. Earlier on I saw white spots that look like seeds on my stool . I never had this before and I m wondering if this is a way my body is getting rid of parasite after my vegi n fruits diets or is it a symptom by itself. Should I be alarmed as this is the first time I experiencing such stool ? Thank you

Hi,
It could be seeds that you see. The seeds contain silica and may not digest properly and be ousted out of the gut. Just fruits and veg diet is not going to give you enough protein and fat for energy. You should make it low glycemic diet if you are trying to achieve certain weight loss.
Parasites would not come out with this kind of diet and this may be a myth.
