Hello everybody,
I made an interesting discovery this morning, every once in a while, I have red in my stool. My CT Scan, occult stool test, and sigmoidoscopy revealed everything to be tip-top. Today I noticed small 1/4" and smaller red "Sticks" in my stool... upon further investigation they look like, rolled-up tomato skins... one of which actually looked like a square cut piece of tomato with the tomato flesh on one side. Even more bizarre is sometimes, I hate what appears to be... this is going to sound odd... plastic? rough pieces of hard paper thin plastic-like substance... Now... I haven't eaten tomatoes for a while... upon investigating I found these "Red tomato sticks" popping up all over google and the website being associated with 'Flukes" my question is to you, does a fluke infection cause IBS symptoms?
My symptoms are:
None of my symptoms are intense or super painful - just annoying. Has anyone ever had these "Tomato sticks?" before?

My symptoms are:
- BM's twice a day
- Mucus is present in small amounts sometimes coating the stool
- alternate between light constipation and mild D.
- Constipation BM is brown
- D BM's are light almost yellow sometimes
- Light pain in the lower right.
- Pain (Sometimes ) under the sternum
- Lower back pain
- Bubbles or foam in urine sometimes
None of my symptoms are intense or super painful - just annoying. Has anyone ever had these "Tomato sticks?" before?
