What Causes Abnormal Stool?

I have been having lots of what looks kind of like garbanso beans or beige peas in my stools for over a year. I told my doctor and she ordered a colonoscopy which came back with a few polyps (3 different types) which were remove, however I continue to have these abnormal stools. What could it be?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history having kind of garbanso beans or beige peas in my stools for over a year. Colonoscopy found some polyps, and were removed.
This is a rare occurrence and the actual picture would have helped us to know what it is.
Secondly, stool tests for 3 consecutive days can help us to know what exactly is this.
The reasons can be indigestion, pancreatitis or pancreatic insufficiency causing all this.
I would advise you to consult a Gastroenterologist to have clinical evaluation again and you may then find the reasons.
Taking pancreatic enzymes can help a lot.
