What Does Brown String Like Discharge In Stool Indicate?

I have just noticed what looks like brown string in my 3 year old daughters stools. She has also had constipation. I haven t noticed anything unusual in her stools before today and she hasn t complained of stomach pain or had any changes in appetite or weight. Could it be worms??

HI
Well come HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the consistency, color, and other appearance of the stool are due to diet taken, in absence of related symptoms no need to worry about this but if the doubt needs to be cleared then stool needs to be sent for lab test hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
