Long flat thing

Tape worms?

I thought about a mutant atomic tapeworm, but real tapeworms are much smaller (each segment is about the size of a grain of rice). Anyway, they'd probably come out a segment at a time, rather than as a long thing.
I can't imagine what it could be.

Oh.. I thought tape worms were long. Are there any other worms that can infest humans like this?

Tapeworms can grow to huge lengths when they're inside of you, but I'm not sure whether long segments of them come out intact. In any case, they're pretty skinny.Roundworms are a possibility. I had a puppy that was infected with them...it's interesting to see one of those things come out. But they're round like earthworms, not flat. (My dogs have had every kind of parasitic infection known to Florida, except for heartworms.)What the OP saw might just be mucus.It might be worth going to the doctor and giving a stool sample, so they can check it out.
