...band was it a worm? I've been having a lot of abdominal pain lately as well as diarrhea and my doctor ordered a stool culture test.
When I was collecting the samples (it was disgusting because my stools at the time looked similar to when a dog has a blow out and it's just a massive pile of diarrhea) I was using the scoop for the containers and I pulled this rubber band looking thing out from the middle of the pile. It was very long and it resembled a rubber band I couldn't tell what it was. What could this potentially be given it definitely was not a rubber band I'm thinking it's a worm? Could this be the cause of my pain if not do you think it could be anything else?
Funny thing is I had a colonoscopy and upper endoscopy 3 months ago and they came back fine. The abdominal pain never went away though, would a colonoscopy not see worms?
