General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Stool having almond shaped jelly like thing in it can be due to the following:
- This may be undigested food covered with mucus and thus gives classical appearance.
- You can have some problems in the colon like a polyp or an ulcer causing such an appearance.

Hence I would advise you the following:
- Send the sample of stool for lab for three consecutive days
- CT scan of whole abdomen
- Colonoscopy and biopsy
- Clinical evaluation by a General Surgeon or a Gastroenterologist

All these will to an appropriate diagnosis and gives a proper plan of management. So, go for these things as soon as possible to get a proper diagnosis and management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
