I've been having stomach discomfort for a month now, and I just reverently started having very soft poop. My poop is a lighter color than usual. Does this mean anything? I'm not sure how to identify worms in stool, if I have any. If I see strings, it's most likely just fiber right? How can I tell if I have worms?

Hi Zack, 

Often you'll see them, moving.  You can also check for eggs or "segments" of the worm in your stool.

You stool can "lighten" in response to your diet.

my stool has been a lighter color lately, and also what color are worm segments?

Segments are usually white. They often are moving.

Changes to your diet can make your stool lighter.
