I don't think this is a worm altho it has some wormlike features. It looks more like mucus with a lot of blood in it. Did you have complete testing for Celiac Disease and hemachromatosis? Have you read about the Specific Carbohydrate Diet for IBS? Since you have an irritable bowel and are considering doing parasite treatments it would be best to start with herbs and supplements that are not irritating.

No, it's mucus and linear ulcers.

Should find some info in past posts of mine on these.
Take MSM to help them get out and take Horsetail and Nettle tincture to help close the ileocecal valve which is irritated by the movement of those thingies.

They come about due to DNA altering critters like Giardia and Clostridium.
While you are waiting for Horsetail and Nettle tincture use fresh ground NON Irradiate cloves NOT OIL 2 caps with each meal. Will hurt like heck at first as the valve begins to heal but that only lasts an hour or so.

Are you by chance taking any psyllium? This looks just like what I get when I take psyllium.

It doesn't look like a Tapeworm to me either but sad to say you and your mother and other loved ones probably have the insidious little devils anyway.

See link below for cayenne pepper challenge test to check informally for Tapeworms (sometimes one sees sesame seed looking things, or “blanched almonds” but usually “white rice” in the stools), for example. Many people have found parasites this way, parasites that lab tests said they didn’t have. Hulda Clark says everyone she ever lab tested had Tapeworms & everyone had other kinds of parasites as well.

Another approach to tapeworms, also ascaris:

RE parasites, low enemas can help reveal what bugs are dying without any “digging around.” Enema bags are cheap & online or at drug stores. The net has many sites telling how to use them. Use 2 cups filtered water only per bag at a time. You don’t want to go too high and wash away good intestinal bacteria. (On occasion, to relieve really bad constipation, you can go higher, though. Preferably less than one time per week.) Add some plain, no sugar, yogurt with acidophilus, or “live cultures” to the last bag & eat some. This kind of yogurt is easy to find at most grocery stores. The enemas can also help combat the constipation often associated with initial stages of parasite killing and just help speed up the cleansing process in general.

Also, many people are not aware that they are gluten sensitive, maybe even have celiac. A gluten sensitivity test can help. Even if one shows up just at Level 1 in sensitivity, that means the intestinal villi have been damaged & nutrients are not getting through as they should. Also where gluten sensitivity is, candida is probably lurking.

Candida may be lurking regardless. One way you may find it is by doing low enemas, mixing water with apple cider vinegar or 3% hydrogen peroxide. Use after a bowel movement. If you see things that look like string cheese or yellow gel, or white things that look like pieces of tissue paper, then you know a candida cleanse needs to be done. Another tip off is that, after you do the enemas you may have cold or flu like symptoms or some itchiness. I'd personally get rid of the parasites first. Both cleanses cause die off and you don't want to overdo it.

great photos. I had this exact thing with my first doses of Mebendazole. It scares you to death, but I figured out it was mucus. the worms looked different. I eventually played around with some and found some were "whole" and I could thread them around my finger... like a snake shed but my colon shed old build up... doctor said it wouldnot do that...Ha.. good news is I've done like 8 or more doses of Albendazole ( herbs too)over the past ten months and there is no more of that gunk. I sort of suspected my parasite/ IBS problem had helped it build up and it is now cleaner and more efficient. Whether my liver is healthier or my colon...**I have lost 10 pounds and did not change my diet.

One rather gross thing to add is that during this my vet found a Taenia egg in a doggie sample..I treated the dogs... collected some poop and "washed" it in the tub and found the same thing purged from them. Ugh.

Do be aware that protozoa cohabit with worms and all cause IBS so don't settle for diagnosis of IBS only. I had 3 protozoa that never tested positive again after 4 rounds of worm meds....My colon is ultra healthy ..NO IBS, virtually no gas, rarely bloating, no cramps or strange pains anymore. No weird things in my poop and my "love handles" are gone!!! It has been a long haul though.. one dose won't fix worms.

Now ...Just damn wiggles around my liver and elsewhere. Getting meds to colon is a breeze. Do it before bstards spread!

LOL.. I should have titled my last post "healthy colon at last" and added that my brother brought me albendazole from a foreign country when he came home and here ICU has links to out of country pharmacies ..etc. Herbs are great but only a piece of the puzzle til the drugs arrive..., especially use oil of oregano and parasite blends. Looking back I say ...Use the big guns and read ICU posts here. Don't beg a doctor cause they put mental illness on your file and it will haunt you for life. Those damn files are accessible to any Doctor who pulls you up in the system. Privacy my ass!

There is not just Tapeworms that can give you health problems. Also, it would be a good thing to take the thing you want to picture and clean it a bit with water. You can take a ziploc bag put the material in it and add water. Then gently move the bag to cleanse the material. Letting it stand for awhile in the bag with water might help to clean it.
After cleaning, we can see so much better that the identification is so much possible. Good luck ! Do not stop looking for the source of the problem even if some doctors are not interested. Keep on and try to see a doctor, a real expert in parasitology.
