A Very Strange Thing Happened in the Dunny.

It's very uncomfortable to talk about but I found something strange in my stool. I wouldn't spend time looking at my stool but having IBD I look for blood in the toilet. What I found simply has me dumbfounded. A cluster of 5 white rod-shaped things, firm, smooth, blunt straight across at the end, reminded me of pencil erasers for mechanical pencils--about that same size, about an inch long, embedded in a very large round, hard, mucus-covered stool. I'm not kinky and I certainly never swallowed anything like that. I'm racking my brain trying to think of what it could be! I've done hours of research online and have come up with nothing. I need ideas.

Hello and welcome to the forum.  We appreciate your question and recommend you speak to your doctor about your concerns.  

You are not the first one or the last one to examine your bowel movement.  And there can on any day be a wide variation of what it might look like.  Here is a whole guide on color variations and the meaning. https://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/what-do-different-poop-colors-mean#1  Sometimes we eat things that we don't properly digest and they show up in our stool.  Corn is a common example.  Could it have been anything like that? There is also something called casein curds.  These look like pods.  It involves ingestion of dairy and some intolerance.
