Stool looks strange

[dingbat11]

Im a 41 year old woman, and fairly healthy. Ive been noticing that my stool looks almost exactly the same  coming out, as it did going in. Like my body isnt even digesting it! I can literally see the food I ate in very minimal stool.  Am I sick? What the hec is this? (Besides really creepy!)

Are you experiencing weight loss at all? You really need to follow up with your physician if this has been an issue for more than 48-72 hours.

Not be alarmist but there are so many things it could be - from the web:

"Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Chronic diarrhea that contains undigested food may be a symptom of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a disorder of the lower intestinal tract. Additional symptoms of IBS can include abdominal pain, swelling, chronic or frequent bouts of constipation (between bouts of diarrhea), emotional stress and loss of appetite. If you experience chronic diarrhea and any number of these signs, discuss your symptoms with your doctor to determine whether you have IBS. If you have been diagnosed with IBS and experience diarrhea, MSHMC suggests drinking plenty of fluids and consuming starchy foods, such as rice or mashed potatoes, as they may be more easily digested while experiencing diarrhea. When symptoms persist or worsen, medical attention is recommended.
Celiac Disease

Celiac disease is a digestive disease that causes harsh reactions when gluten, a protein found in wheat and other grain-based products, is consumed. According to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearing House, chronic diarrhea is a common symptom of the disease, particularly in children with the disorder. Additional symptoms might include abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, pale or fatty stool or weight loss. Celiac disease tends to run in families, so if a relative has the illness, you may stand at heightened risk. If left untreated, celiac disease can cause damage to the digestive system and result in poor absorption of nutrients, particularly when food particles are lost through diarrhea or vomiting. If you suspect your symptoms of chronic diarrhea may correlate to consumption of foods containing gluten, seek proper testing and guidance from your doctor.
Crohn's Disease

Crohn's disease is a bowel disease that causes inflammation in the intestinal tract. Chronic diarrhea is a common symptom of Crohn's disease, with or without omitting undigested food particles. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, additional symptoms may include bloody or watery diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and lack of appetite. Symptoms of Crohn's disease come and go throughout a person's life. However, symptoms may be reduced or prevented with proper treatment. Those who are of Jewish or Scandinavian descent, smoke, have history of the disease in their family or who consume diet high in saturated fats and sugars and low in fruits and vegetables are at increased risk for Crohn's disease. If you suspect Crohn's disease is causing chronic diarrhea or related symptoms, seek proper testing from your doctor."

  Thanks for the answer. What if I do have persistant diarreah? accompanied with the strange stool? What is it? Something to do with my pancreus, or liver?
