Really ugly objects in my stool :(

---

I really can't begin to describe this properly, i've hosted a pic of it zoomed in here: http://minus.com/lMTaOb15q3LbDplease be warned this is graphic, it almost made me sick just looking at it if anyone can tell me what this is i'll be grateful, it happened about 3 months ago and i've felt fine since but it's been niggling in the back of my head that i should find out what it is. it was around 3 inches in length but the pic looks much bigger, i thought zooming would make it easier for someone to identify it. it was within a very soft yet regularly shaped stool, but when using a plastic fork to remove it i could tell it had a rubbery texture, almost stretchy cuz it wouldn't split when i pressed down on it. there was almost no discomfort when i had the stool either which was odd considering how bad this looked I have bouts of soft/sloppy stool now and then but it comes and goes, most of the time it seems pretty normal. thankyou in advance. btw i don't know what this place is like but if anyone mocks me I won't be responding cuz I can't handle it, this has really had me worried that something is seriously wrong cheers

I've got no idea about this but there are others who will. Please be patient.

thanks I will do. i'm just glad this hasn;t happened more than once, at least i've only seen it that one time.. sorry to post something so gross!

Wipeout- you seem to have us stumpted. Maybe a little more info would help:

Where do you live?
Have you traveled anywhere out of your country recently?
Have you swallowed anything unusual lately?
Has this been a one-time only occurance?

No need to apologise at all.

I'm rather stumped. It looks like something you might have eaten. Some types of vegetable skins don't get digested and pass through unchanged - corn is notorious for this, looking as if the kernels have gone through undigested, though actually it's only the yellow outer shell. There's also the possibility they could be sausage skins, which are usually made of plastic. But the pieces seem rather big unless you don't chew much.

Mucoid plaque!

Generally considered a myth (see, for example, here). I suppose, though, that there might be occasions where some mucus lining is shed in this form.

Just get your crap to a doctor and have him send it to a lab. Case solved.Could be tapeworms or parasites. But only a lab can find out.
