There are several possibilities as to what the long stringy things are.
Rope worms. There is a dispute as to whether rope worms are even parasites.
Flukes of unknown type.
Undigested food or even a build up on your intestinal lining.

When submitting specimens for posting here on CZ it is best to fish out the specimen with a plastic fork. Put it in a jar of warm water to remove fecal matter. Swish it around until it appears clean. Put it on a white paper plate and add a coin for scale. Then take a photo to post. I put dates on mine for reference. Some recommend trying to dissolve the parasites with boiling water. If it dissolves, it's mucous. It it doesn't, it's parasites.
You have only begun a cleanse. Add in some garlic, beets every day, frozen cod liver oil capsules and even enemas or colonics. You also need something to destroy any biofilm. Some eat a lot of pineapple, others take bromelain caps between meals or use a product called Stone Breaker. There are multiple protocols as there are multiple infestations. Keep a journal and try adding one thing at a time.
Get educated. You have to become your own healer. Read old posts. Look at posts by ICU, Mattk3. Sharkman, Lineup and Positive Mind. Google Dr. Andreas Kalcker, Dr. Simon Yu, Debugyourhealth.com. Read the book Healing the Symptoms Known as Autism by Kerri Rivera . Buy some used parasitology textbooks. Read Patrick Rambling's blogs.
Many of us have found that eliminating parasites is like peeling an onion. There are layers of parasites. Many of us have cleansed for years. Along the way you may find other infections and conditions. Having parasites is evidence of a compromised immune system. Many advocate trying to repair the immune system while eliminating parasites.
Welcome to our world.

A first pointer that might be helpful to you is that's good to become very careful about handling these samples. Use plastic gloves and a mask anytime you are dealing with stool samples. I use long bamboo sticks used generally for making ka-bobs on the grill to fish out the suspicious looking items. I use plastic containers that will be thrown away after the sample is photographed (or whatever).
You can end up with a big mess very quickly otherwise and if you share your home with pets or other people you risk infecting others if any material is left on surfaces such as the toilet seat or the bathroom counter etc.
Ill warn you it's easy to spend a lot of time staring at your poop. You want to diagnose what's going on of course. But, it can become very time consuming, much more than it need be, at least that's happened from time to time in my personal experience lol. I agree reading posts and second hand textbooks is helpful.
Welcome :)

Hi there. I've started following Brendas blog as well. I've started adopting the wahls paleo diet she recommends and am using now blackwalnut Wormwood clove tincture while I figure out if I am going to do her parasite cleanse. Going to talk to a ND on tuesday just to see her opinions on it... although I imagine she'll have her own cleanse she wants me to do. I'd just jump into it, but need the support and knowledge of someone who has some expeiences with parasite cleanses. I've been fighting mine for over a year, thinking it was just a crazy pinworm infection I couldn't beat. Only since November I've discovered it was much worse than that, tapeworms, hookworms, flukes, a filarial worm or strongyloide... not sure which or both maybe. Tried DE, meds, now tincture. Meds were very rough and hard to do safely. Time for a serious herbal remedy. DE was awesome for quite some time, kept me symptom free until I stopped using it. So I may do it in combo with an herbal remedy. Best of luck to you...and to all of us...

You need to rinse those off and put then on slide under a decent or better microscope. Dip in alchohol or rinse under cold water tap - use gloves and disinfect everything well after handling samples
