little white balls in my poop

Posted 05.23.2004 by Poonurse (1313)

Becca asks:

When I take a poop there are these little off-white round things that I see on the paper as well as in the toilet. What could this be? I have had this for over a month.


Dear Becca,

Let's look at this logically, shall we?

Anytime one has little white things coming out of one's butt and one is sure that it isn't just cheap toilet paper balls, one should go to the doctor (preferably with the aforementioned little white things in a jar) LONG befoe writing to a website devoted to humorous poop stories.

But, that's just my opinion. Go get it checked out.

Thanks for asking Poonurse!

I've had internal (and painful) hemorrhoids for over a year, and have had a "sensitive" digestive system (diarrhea) since I was like 12. I finally went to the doctor and got a colonoscopy (at 23!) and he said i did have some hemmroids and then didn't do anything about it!
I've tried to read things online but is there anything that REALLY gets rid of it?? It hurts and it ridiculous that I can't go to the bathroom without it hurting. It seems my body switched from D to constipation. ugh.
Oh yea, and I have white flecks in my stool too. I notice it when its harder, thicker.
I got everything!

Me too!! (not verified) -- 02.19.2009

" few moths ago I got the flu and so did my mom. The entire time my mom had the flu she had diarrhea but I got it only on the last day I showed any symptoms of the flu. I have had diarrhea since then and now I'm getting hemorrhoids all the time.
I noticed the blood and my stool started to smell weird. Then I saw little white things in my stool; they don't move but sometimes at night I start to itch(making me paranoid that I worms), so I'm not sure if it's worms.
Then one time I ate a bun with sesame seeds and had more of the little white things, one was on the paper so I cleand it off and watched it for awhile to see if it would move but it didn't, so I took the paper and squeezed it; it popped and white stuff come out(kinda like a pimple). Was that a seed?
I also have some adominal pain and now I'm seem to be alternating between diarrhea and constipation but mostly diarrhea. I don't take any medications. What would most likely be causing all of this?"

Me too! Minus the flu. I have hemorrhoids diarreha alternating with constipation, don't take ANY medication but birth control shot..and have white flecks...wtf?? my doctor said 6 months ago i was fine besides a few hemmoroids!!

MM, I can't tell you how effective the sentence "I would like a referral for a second opinion" is to your current doctor to get to the bottom of what's really wrong with you.

It sounds like you've got nothing to lose.

I DO NOT take Effexor or medications. I am on a parasite cleanse by The Life Tree called Purify. I have white seeds in my stool since I have been on it, and more pooh aliens as well.

Effexor is obviously a medication that kills parasites. That is why you are seeing them.

Remember, death begins in the colon, so keep your colon clean. Don't eat JUNK! It will clog your colon, and worms can hide behind the clogged poop there.

I found white unmoving little balls and curled up worm like things in my faeces too, and was going to go to the doctor first thing in the morning. After panicking for an hour and looked more into them and think back on what I've been eating, at first I thought mushrooms, but then found out they're the inside of undigested tomato seeds! the inside of tomato seeds look pure white and the roots(?) curled up like white little balls.

LOL I have constipations for years..About two years ago i had blood in my stool, i have seen a doc about one hour later,and he stucked his finger in my butt, lol man, that was nasty, he didnt find anything and he told me that if i have blood in my stool once more i must go to coloproctologyst.I didnt had blood in my stool after some time, but i found that when i poo, like someting is scratching me from the inside, after some time, i had a feeling that i poo ice or feferoni,lol..After that my poo wasnt from one part, it was fragmented, and was stinking like hell..Sometimes i have diarhea.Abot 8 months ago i noticed those white nasty dots(like sesame seed, but little smaller).Every day i have headaches and i dizzyness.I'll go to doc these days and i will post comment about what he told me and what therapy he gave me. Happy pooping friends :-)

I've noticed these little white spheres in my poop of and on for the last 3 months. I've been taking Acai Berry for cleansing. The spheres are about the size of a period on a sheet of paper. My medical deductable is so high that unless I feel really bad it's not worth $$$$ to satisfy the Dr's curiosity.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 04.03.2009

hey, i just got back from Italy and Greece and like four days later im pooping out all these chunks of white stuff around my crap
hope its not worms :/

Two good ones:

I'm in training and the reserved classrooms are at a local psych hospital. Every day at the first break there is a turd incident in the shitter next to the class.

Day one, a lone loaf just laying in the middle of the floor near the sinks. It was the size of a 20oz soda.

Day two, some unfortunate did a "shotgun spatter" of the far stall and completely coated it wall to wall. It was like filthy camouflage.

The janitor doesn't get paid enough for that.

i have this too and i'm not on medication! they dont move and look like sesame seeds! ive had them for AGES.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 04.22.2009

I just started taking amoxicillin and im pretty sure the white clumps started coming in right after i started taking it. It is not a capsule pill, but a HUGE while chalky pill so im sure that this is the culprit.

P P Wimpkins (not verified) -- 05.06.2009

Just recently, I noticed the LWB's. I have been producing some extremely loose stool as of late. I have been taking different releases and doses of Wellbutrin for over 16 years. I'd like to propose the idea that you must have both (loose stool and Wellbutrin XL) going on in order to see the LWB's. Anyone else agree? Any one seem to have a different trend? Thanks!

Anonymous Coward too (not verified) -- 05.07.2009

I can't believe I read the whole thing... this thread has been up for two years and no one knows what the LWB's are. Sure the ones taking meds have answers but my dog doesn't take drugs and he is sick. I have been having similar symptoms and wonder if he infected me with something.

Hope I find some answers soon. I know its going to be costly whatever it is.

Anonymous Coward #3 (not verified) -- 05.19.2009

Im a male but OMG ive had a stomach virius and have been going through every kind of poop there is cause. I have a stomach virius you name it yellow green. I drank an ocean water from sonic my poop turned black, but it wasnt blood cause it had blue coming off it. It was an ocean water, and worse mucus and from straing which. I know is not good just a little unoticable blood you cant barely see it and now I have white stain in my poop good news its back to brown. But Ive had a capsule thing too fight infections so its either that or the steroid injection. I had in my thigh around my but which also made me constapated but. I still pooped. I thought I was gonna die but Im ok!

JC (not verified) -- 05.19.2009

Ok I have been examining my poop for awhile now since I have IBS. When I disovered the LWB's in my poop several months ago and told my doc's my finding on this site, let's just say my pych meds (effexor xr being one of them) were increased LOL.

Anyways I was determined to prove my case that I was not crazy about these LWB's so I put on my research hat. For all of you who are taking capsules, especially Effexor XR here is a site that explains that the balls (spheroids) release the med slowly and the insoluble portion is eliminated and may be seen in the stools.

For those needing proof visit http://emc.medicines.org.uk/document.aspx?documentId=2210 section 5.2 last sentence. I knew we all couldn't be going crazy! Sad part about this is no doc I came across knew about this...kinda scary don't ya think!

Happy Pooping!

I have been noticing this phenomenon as well, but two weeks ago, I did a parasite cleanse and it looks like I need to follow up. Thanks for the information!

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 07.11.2009

I too, have this white stuff with my poop! But is it actually white! I get this really bad cramp in my belly after bein constipated for about 4 days and then I finally poop and the white balls, (sometimes stringy stuff) comes out with it!! I am not on any medication either! Any suggestions, other than go to the doctor or get a colon? I have no money for that, otherwise I would!!

Sartori (not verified) -- 07.12.2009

I've tried to read through all of this, but it's too much to sort out...lol...I got lost! I was just wondering if there was a simple answer. I have small white pea-sized balls in my poop. I do not take any medication (at all), and have a severe dairy allergy. They just started showing up about 2 months ago, and they're pretty regular...twice a day. My "movements" are usually mostly liquid, and I have to go about every four hours. I have no insurance, and cannot afford to see a doctor (to answer your question as to why I'm on this site). I am amazed that so many people have experienced this phenomenon, and I was so happy that I FINALLY found some information about it, only to be disheartened when I realized that everyone else's problems were easily explained by medication. Is there anyone that might have any suggestions? I'm grasping at straws, but this site seems pretty popular, and maybe someone will read this post who has an answer. Thank you so much...and I hope that I hear something positive soon!

i have been have little white gel like balls in my poop. i just got back from a week long camp 2 weeks ago then a week long cruise a week ago and i used to be on antibiotics which were in capsules but i finished that like a week and a half ago. does anybody know what it could be.

MSG (1152) -- 08.05.2009

Sartori, if you eat fresh peas, sometimes your digestion can bleach them and the skins can come out white; if they fill with poop they will still be little balls. Usually peas are easy to digest, but not if you're having trouble. They don't come out all at once, either, but some at a time over a period of several bowel movements. Another possibility is okra seeds; if the okra is somewhat mature (just on the edge of edibility), the seeds can swell during transit and look a bit larger when they show up in poop. I'm not saying that either of these is your solution, but one of them might be. Garbanzo beans (whole) can also bleach on their way through if not digested well.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 08.11.2009

Yah I have pinworms. I just took my last pill about 7 hours ago, and took the other last week at the same time. I hope it clears it up, because I have been showering twice a day, washing my hands a LOT and changing bedding and underwear all the time. I too see the "White Balls" But I doubt they have anything to do with my pinworms

I know they aren't a serious medical problem, but it isn't very fun having worms playing Peek-a-boo with your ass hole. I hope for the best, considering my beautiful nails have been cut to the nub. Thanks ya little worm bastards.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 08.27.2009

i have them , sometimes 20 cm long up to 1 cm wide , sometimes white sometimes brown .. i sent them to a good lab and they reported they r not parasites .. a feel irritble nervous and a bit paranoid hours before they show up in the stool .. and could never find an anwser in internet

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 08.28.2009

ATTENTION! If you are having little "white clearish"things about the length of a staple (maybe smaller)and especially if they are wiggling around, they are more than likely pin worms. they are HIGHLY contagious so do not feel bad. An infected person (usually children) could have spread them to you without you ever knowing it. They can even become airborn when they are small enough and can be inhaled. There are over the counter medications (if you are like me and are too ashamed to go to the doctor) such as Pin-x that i have heard are just as effective as the perscription strength. Pin-x is around $13 for two doses (that is all you need, the first takes care of everything, the second prevents it from coming back) The pin worms lay eggs in the tissue around your anus. This eggs can remain dormant for up to 2 weeks. Be SURE to clean all bedding and clothing you came in contact with so that the disease doesn't come back. Most importantly, glad to hear I am not alone =]. good luck with all your poo issues!

Hi Ya'll! I have had the little rice sized off white and white things in my poo. The doc only did a Giardia test Which came back negative. I also had gurgling especially when I lay down at nite. Go barefoot all the time and have dogs and cats. All see the vet regularly. I don't have it now, and I did nothing,because the doc did nothing. WHAT WE have is an epidemic of Medical Professionals that don't know what they are doing. I wasn't loosing weight,so "It must not be worms". Earlier someone said they have no test. Maybe we should all do the colon cleanse thing,then we could see all that other stuff in there and really freak! Oh, I am an old lady Over 50!! I have gone to the health food store and have almost cured my GERD with simply taking Calcium & Magnesium. Now, I have chronic Candida that I am on a special diet for and probiotics.NO, THe doc didn't reccomend it, I was sick n tired of the problem,and went to the health food store.AND got info to educate myself on the internet. I think these things are related. I am already drinking a ginger tea with a crushed clove in it. Maybe that will run off the varmits. I do think it is a cryng SHAME that our Health care professionals (a) CHARGE too much (b) do not help us (c) work for the pharmacueticals (d) ask us to fill out a questionare with a lot of check offs and then never even look at it.(e)Overprescirbe antibiotics,ect. & (f) don't really care about our well being, just their wallets and tee off time!!
So, We need to be more aggressive to our Docs! Get their attention and don't let them say No, unless you completely agree. Ain't it sad that we are afraid of what they think. Don't stop checking here on the Web,we learn the most from each other!!

ChiefThunderbutt (2779) -- 09.01.2009

I find it incredulous that so many people are ashamed to go see a doctor when they have medical problems. What's wrong people! Don't you fucking know that's what doctors are for!
I get my medical care from the VA thanks to the fact I am a partially disabled veteran, and one of my doctors is female, but I have no qualms about showing her my asshole or even allowing her to probe it if she thinks it is necessary for a correct diagnosis.

Doctors are there to cure your ills, not to laugh at you, grow up and get over your foolishness.

I may have gone to far on my last visit when I asked if I could see her asshole too. Oh well.

I got locked up a few years ago,(about four) and when i came home i saw a few white kind of yellow looking circle looking things in my poop, I dind't pay it any attention because i thoungt it was penuts or something that was just in my poop, because i had only seen it once, and so i stopped paying attention to my poop because who really examines there poop. Now here i am four years latter just used the bathroom last night and i seen these things they were a little bigger than corn, and it just so happens i ate corn last night, but these things seem to still be in tac, not all chewed up so i put some gloves on and took one and tried to smash it and it was hard but after 2 tries it burst open, then i was freaked out can anyone help me and tell me what this might be. I have no insurance so if I go to the hospital it has to be important thank you.

Dear AC.....You don't have to go to the hospital for minor medical problems. Most areas have walk in clinics that only charge about $50 for a visit. If it is something serious they will let you know. Leaving even a minor problem untended can make the solution ultimately much more expensive.

Dear wtf,

Jealousy is such an ugly, and useless, emotion. Therapy may help, but the real solution is to go and get your own little white balls in your poop. It will give you the sense of belonging you crave, a tremendous feeling of being a "part of" rather than left out, which, by your reaction, seems to be the story of your life...craving attention with your internet screaming...its ok, I understand, and am here to help.

OK all you scatoligically minded, time release med gobbling folks. Effexor XR for me as well. Been freaked out for years until I landed here! Now I can't stop laughing. Four years ago I reluctantly collected some of those alien bug thing/nano-transmitters, and asked my Doc. about them. She looked at me like I was the geek that I am (the type of geek who shows up here!) and said curtly "I have no idea". Well, I got my hands on a dissecting microscope, and a razor blade, cut one in half, and there were numerous minute whitish crystals inside the tough almost leathery "shell". Well, that freaked me out even worse, and has been freaking me out since. I finally guessed that it was phagotysized leukocytes...NOT. Now, thanks to you Poop Squad Troops, I am now enlightned and relieved!(no pun). So...300 mg. of Effexor XR is the maximum effective dose any way, and my God that stuff is expensive. I'm gonna talk to my Doc. about evenly spaced doses of generic venlafaxine. MUCH Cheaper, and no more scary albino specks in our efluvious excrement.

Green seed pooper (not verified) -- 11.15.2009

Hello! I was curious about what I found in my poop today. I saw only one on the toilet paper. This is hard to describe so bare with me. I found a green like seed with a black dot at the tip of it. It also looks like it is filled with something inside of it. In other words, it is not flat looking. I wish I could send you a picture of it. I saved it in a plastic bag. My stomach has been feeling a little weird for a few days. Can you help me? Have you heard of such a thing in poop? Thank you so much for taking the time to read my e-mail.
