Corn in stool

2017-06-03 18:09:18
Hi, I've been finding full corn kernels in my stool for the past 6 months. I understand that the outside husk of the kernel cannot be digested and so it is excreted completely intact. However, I haven't eaten corn since last year. I am certain that it is corn in my stool. I have also been checked and cleared for parasites on a few occasions.

Hello there. I can understand your concern. There is absolutely no way that corn is growing​inside you if that's what you are suggesting. Consult a general surgeon in person for further evaluation and management. He might be able to help you further. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
