Hi,

I suffer from IBS and I have noticed recently that I have white, stringy things in my stools. Could these be worms? And if so what is the best course of action?

Thanks

You should see your doctor. He or she will want a stool sample to check for worms. Your IBS symptoms could disguise the symptoms of a parasitic infection.
