Has anyone else had this?I occasionally notice when I wipe my bum that there is a stringy thing like a piece of skin or membrane attatched to the stool. (sorry,I know it sounds disgusting).I have had tests for parasites so don't think it's that.My gastro.told me next time I saw one to put it in a special container he gave me and then give it to his surgery straight away.Unfortunately,the few times these things have appeared,it's been at a weekend or when I've been away somewhere.Anyway,today I noticed a particularly long one attatched to a stool as it sank down the toilet(so,too late to grab it !).Does anyone know what this thing might be?When I've looked closely at other ones they don't look like worms or anything,more like stretchy bits of skin.I'm wondering if they could be from the lining of the intestine.If so,is this normal?I don't see these things very often,just from time to time.I'd be grateful for any feedback on this.Apologies again for the graphic description but,hey,how else to communicate this ?
