Hello
I share your concern.
Sticky stool is a matter of concern which might be related to steatorrhea, malabsorption syndrome or intestinal inflammation.

Looking at your description I would advise you to avoid milk for a while and take lots of fresh fruits, vegetables and dietary fiber in your diet.
Have plenty of fluids orally.
Antiacidity medicines like pantoprazole or ranitidine with antacids are advisable for 3 to 5 days.

You can take a course of albendazole for deworming if you haven't taken it previously.

If it doesn't improve with all these measures than you should see a gastroenterologist for blood tets Ike liver function test, stool test and an endoscopy or ultrasound abdomen if need be.

Hope I could answer your question
Best wishes
