I'm wondering if i have an intestinal worm...i'm scared to death?


i also have had crohns disease for 21 years,but lately i've had several new complaints...i felt something coming out of me while having a b.m.Sorry,I know this is gross to talk about but i need to find out what this is...i think it's a parasite or worms.Help me please!Here is a description of my alien...walnut to corn size,pale yellow to dark yellow , vary in size , floats,slimey,sticky,very foul odor when opened up,and inside of my alien egg sack it looks like thousands of uncooked cream of wheat looking things.I did send a sample to the lab but my Dr. lost it.I'm so creaped out.Can anyone help?I'm so very frightened...ty

I work in the lab and I test stool samples for ova and parasites. (ova are eggs). There is NO KNOWN parasite to humans that is any larger than a poppy seed. A parasitic worm from an animal, however could be your problem. But, again, the ova to these are tiny and we have to use microscopes to see them. The worms can get to be a few inches long though.

Collect some stool sample and bring it to the lab or doctor within 8 hours. They will test for Crypto/Giardia and ova and parasites. They will also do a stool culture.

More than likely, it freaked you out and was really nothing, but something you ate that you did not digest fully.

Sounds like you have an intestinal parasite. Don't panic, go back to doctor and demand an answer. Could be round worm or something. Go to doctor and get your medicine now. Sounds terrible, good luck dear.

You definately need to be checked out for a parasite, I recommend finding a different doctor.....lost your sample?
I work with a man who was a wrestler and suffered with Crohns for many years, he would be a wealth of information for you.

first ask this doctor if he is going to diagnose you and treat your problem, if not ask for a referral to a specialist in this case most likely an infectious disease specialist as intestinal parasites are not common in the USA (sorry I assumed you live in the USA)
second: obtain one of those samples and ask your doctor to take care of it now.
you stated you sent a sample to the lab, did they receive it or you took it to your doctor to be sent and he lost the sample, if the lab receive it they should have a copy of the results ask for one

you need to go back to the doctor and give him another stool sample so you can know particulary w/crohns disease you don't want that to get any more complicated that it probally iss. good luck and remember what you don't know can hurt you!!!

try get get another one and take it to your doctor and ask him to look at it right there in front of you, he should have the answer to what it is.
