Question Concerning My Stool

Hello,

I am a brand new member to this site and hopefully i can get some help with what ales me at the moment.

Im 19 years old 160 pounds about 6 foot tall.

I have had an ongoing stomach problem for a few months. My stomach or intestines are in no pain but i pretty much always feel bloated and uncomfortable in the stomach region.

My stools were always verying from pencil like, to diarrhea, to constipation. Recently for about a week i have been fine, I thought i could have IBS, Though i did find something that i thought was a Pin Worm after looking it up. They were small white/clearish no longer than my thumb nail long but no movement in them. so i asked my mom (Her being an animal vet) and she said "looks like you got worms sleeping w/ that darn cat of yours." so i picked up some Pin Worm medication and took it that night (about 5 days ago). Now i have noticed something else about my stool. When i relieve myself and look down to examine, I find what i can describe as Small Sacks of Air or Bubble like object that float to the surface of the water and are in my stool. The color of these sacks are a brownish/clear and once agian no more than what looks like a thumb nail long. The only explanation i can think of is that i have Pin Worms and the medication i took made the worms inflate or something.

Anyways any help suggestions or questions would be nice if anyone has a clue.

Half of you will probably suggest going to the doctor but i need to get back into school to get on my fathers insurance agian.

Thank you.

I don't know about that sartia, when I was a kid I had pinworms, I saw them on the TP when I wiped and they were still moving around so they weren't dead...pinworms generally like to hatch babies on/in your anus which causes anal itching usually at night time is when it's bothersome...have you had any anal itching as well.

Here is a good 2 page link about pinworms...

It usually does get kids but it can be easily spread, even off of doorknobs, any surface I'm sure...I have to say I'm sure glad my kids are long past being in elementary, I still make them wash their hands when they get home after school, well the one that's still living at home anyways, the other is legal and living out on her own now.

Hi 2DEAL,
Welcome to the site!
Sorry if this comes out harsh... Colon cleansing is a scam. Whatever came out of you was put there by the cleanse. They do that deliberately so it looks like the product is cleaning out nasty stuff you had lodged in there, making you think the serum worked so you go back for more.
Even if you're skeptical about what I just stated, please check with your doctor before doing another cleanse. They have been proven to be dangerous if not done properly or under medical supervision.
Be careful.
