tapeworm

cindy716
I have had in last two weeks several odd shape nodes in my bowel movements, they are the same size and shape as a cough drop. spongey and inside it is like the consisty of bread. I was wondering if I should worry or just a fluke but in the last two weeks at least 5 times there has been one in every bowl movement.
