They look like a form of roundworm. It might help to take a plastic fork and just break things up in the water, you might be suprised and get a better idea of what you have.

I know its gross, but it's the only way to know.

The stool is formed as it passes thru the large intestine and the excess water is removed. If the parasites were attached on the outside then they most likely came from the lower intestine or bowel. Do these look line pinworms? Do a search for 'Enterobius vermicularis images'

I do not know what that is, but wonder about a candida string, especially if in real life the string looked more white than yellow.

Regardless you probably have parasites & need to kill them.

In case you haven't seen this info:

Disclaimer: Humanworm is mentioned in the link and it used to get great reports here on CZ but lately people are complaining about it a lot so you may want to try something like Clarkia or the other standard herbicides.

See link below for cayenne pepper challenge test to see if you or any loved ones have Tapeworms (sometimes one sees sesame seed looking things, or “blanched almonds” but usually “white rice” in the stools), for example. Many people have found parasites this way, parasites that lab tests said they didn’t have. Hulda Clark says everyone she ever lab tested had Tapeworms & everyone had other kinds of parasites as well.
What helped me in case any of it can help you, but first a disclaimer on the 1st link (which I cannot edit). AT the time I wrote that info many people were reporting great results with Humaworm. Recently they have been complaining about poor results & half filled capsules. Therefore you might want to consider something like Clarkia or others of the standard herbal remedies instead.:

Another approach to tapeworms, also ascaris:

RE parasites, low enemas can help reveal what bugs are dying without any “digging around.” Enema bags are cheap & online or at drug stores. The net has many sites telling how to use them. Use 2 cups filtered water only per bag at a time. You don’t want to go too high and wash away good intestinal bacteria. (On occasion, to relieve really bad constipation, you can go higher, though. Preferably less than one time per week.) Add some plain, no sugar, yogurt with acidophilus, or “live cultures” to the last bag & eat some. This kind of yogurt is easy to find at most grocery stores. The enemas can also help combat the constipation often associated with initial stages of parasite killing and just help speed up the cleansing process in general.

Also, many people are not aware that they are gluten sensitive, maybe even have celiac. A gluten sensitivity test can help. Even if one shows up just at Level 1 in sensitivity, that means the intestinal villi have been damaged & nutrients are not getting through as they should. Also where gluten sensitivity is, candida is probably lurking.

Candida may be lurking regardless. One way you may find it is by doing low enemas, mixing water with apple cider vinegar or 3% hydrogen peroxide. Tea made from Quassia wood chips can also kill some parasites as well as candida. Kefir enemas can also be helpful. Use enemas after a bowel movement. If you see things that look like string cheese or yellow gel, or white things that look like pieces of tissue paper, then you know a candida cleanse needs to be done. Another tip off is that, after you do the enemas you may have cold or flu like symptoms or some itchiness. I'd personally get rid of the parasites first. Both cleanses cause die off and you don't want to overdo it.

Some people say everyone who has had Antibiotics has candida cleansing to do.

Mucus in your stool. Very common. Can also be food related, the digestive process changes the color and appearance of most things you eat. This could be a fibrous remnant from a fruit or vegetable that did not dissolve as well, but it looks like a mucus string. Your intestines secrete mucus to aid in the movement of the bowels. Sometimes more mucus is produced when certain kinds of foods are processed and or if a there is allergy or infection that provokes an immune response. Just like the immune system triggers excess mucus production in the sinuses during an allergic reaction, sinus infection, or a plain old cold virus, similar responses occur in other mucus membranes around the body including any the intestines. Roundworms generally do not get that long either. You can Google images of "roundworms in stool" and see how small they actually are. The internet is both your friens and your worst enemy. So many online sources are not reliable so make sure you look at the source of the image because it might even be from another forum like this. You want to be sure you are looking at a picture that is published from a source that is informative, like educational, medical, reference (like an encyclopedia) or news related site. Otherwise you are getting information that is more than likely uneducated and subjective. Some images are even posted as a joke. Just be sure to look at it on the website that displays it by clicking the link under the image in the search page. You certainly don't want to scare yourself too much! I hope everything works out for you!

Probably mucous from Candida. Stay away from sugars. I'm having same issue and think it's Candida infection. So antifungals may help but you may have parasite too. I'd see a Dr asap
