Hello,
* Could be undigested foodstuff, partially digested material engulfed with fibre portion or related to some sort of intestine infection with epithelial shedding from the intestine wall.
* A lab evaluation for the stool microscopy is best to be evaluated with the microbiology report.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
