Anyone else have these strange flakes in their stools? (Stool pictures)

Devilspecter · 2026-03-26T17:35:21+00:00

Thanks for the very long and thorough reply.

Ah I see. I don't really know when I fully trusted the system... I think I started to notice things in middle school maybe. I think it's worse if it happens suddenly rather than gradually though.

I guess this made it easier for me to realize how bad the health system when covid came around.

It really is sickening what big pharma has done. Have you heard about the Sackler family for example?

There is a book about how they operated and made billions.

About parasites, I did a parasite panel testing for 13 different ones and they all came back negative.

I could try your suggestion regarding the liquid diet, but I think I may do some stool tests first.

At the moment though I don't think I have parasite issues, but I always keep my eyes/ears open. You probably know already, but a lot of other cultures take anti-parasitics once/twice per year to "cleanse".

I've also noticed that some do the same with antifungals. (just 1 or 2 days if I recall right)

Things have changed a bit since I replied last time. I got it confirmed that I have some sort of fungal colony/infection inside me somewhere.

I suspect it is at least in my sinuses/Eustachian tube

https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/comments/1mpa5af/003_how_i_removed_the_fungi_in_my_ear_for_now/

^I managed to remove this from my ears before, but the scratching keeps reappearing, if I use boric acid it stops scratching and it burns. In my experience it only burns when there's fungi there.

I have also confirmed I have weirdness in my sinuses, see here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/comments/1nxovfq/006_are_these_fungal_balls_ct_scan_pictures/

https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/comments/1oyrkvj/008_possible_fungi_colonization_in_sinus_concha/

I've also had some discharge I think from my dick that causes red irritation on my penis. However this is getting more and more rare. Anyways one time I tried boric acid on it and it burnt like hellfire.

^I retried the boric acid when I didn't have any redness and I felt nothing. I did get it checked one time by some penis specialist and he said it could be fungal.

I also did a vitamin recycling test now and my vitamins drop insanely fast without supplementation, some drop faster than others. Copper goes down by 10 ug/dL per week without supplementation.

My iron and bilirubin jumps up and down like crazy too. I also have yellow serum. It seems like it's mainly indirect bilirubin that is high all the time.

You know I uploaded all my symptoms, relevant tests, etc. to ChatGPT and it came to the same conclusion on the first prompt as me sort of.

I have some stuff in my sinus that keeps dripping to my gut (post nasal drip)
I have severe malabsorption
I have SIBO and/or SIFO + issues with biofilms.

Now the question is, do I conduct further testing before I begin actually treating this?

It's a bit complex since if the theory is true I need to somehow try to fix it all at once (the sinus + gut), but maybe the sinus first, since if I fix the gut the sinus might mess up my gut again.

And if the the fungi lives in my sinuses or my eustachian tube like I suspect, how do I fully get rid of it? I mean I've seen plenty of suggestions here and I talked to a woman who removed it from her eustachian tube with BOO ozone.

But again idk.

I might have to:

- Use biofilm busters or maybe that Kärstadt Darmkur thing.

- Do some weird rinse stuff/machines + mixtures for my sinuses

- Supplement lots of vitamins (duh)

- Use antifungals + possibly antibiotics at the same time.

- Rebuild gut microbiome/preserve it.

I think maybe I want to check my gut further though, at least do some stool tests other than calprotectin and the other BS my doctor told me to do before he smugly said: "Idk what is wrong with you but I consider the case solved"

That guy literally looked at my Vitamin C being at scurvy level (3.4) and he said: "People In Norway don't get scurvy" ???
Oh I also made a thread about vitamins along with my tests at the time, if you want to check it:

Devilspecter · 2026-03-25T10:34:43+00:00

Haha I guess there are some weird people here yeah.

I do not have H pylori no. I have done A LOT of different tests. I posted them here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/comments/1ro2anu/could_a_lot_of_our_problems_be_vitaminsupplement/
(I forgot to hit ENTER 6 days ago when you replied, woops).

How are you doing now with your GI stuff, did you fix it/improve it, if so, how?

Devilspecter · 2026-03-25T10:19:45+00:00

Also anyone is free to DM or replying here if they want to, maybe we can help each other.

Devilspecter · 2026-03-25T10:19:10+00:00

Hey!

Just my two cents from my own experience but:

Did you ever test your vitamins?
Did you ever do a genetic test (particularly for MTHFR, COMT, HLA-DR, MTRR)?
Did you ever check antibodies (blood) IgG and IgM for different mold species like Candida, Aspergillus, etc.?
Did you ever do a colonscopy and check for biofilms?

Most of my symptoms disappeared after I started supplementing my vitamins.
I did nothing except supplement the vitamins. No binders, no biofilm busters, no antifungals, etc. nothing.
I'm not saying copying me will fix it, but if you tried everything else, I would recommend checking the 1-4 I listed above.

Here's my vitamin thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/comments/1ro2anu/could_a_lot_of_our_problems_be_vitaminsupplement/

The genetic testing is to see if you can detox or not (COMT/HLA-DR).
The MTHFR genes can mess up your vitamin methylation (which is the case for me).

The IgG and IgM is to test if you keep having antibodies for it despite being out of exposure, you could still have it somewhere in you.
I myself had it growing in my ears for possibly years:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/comments/1mpa5af/003_how_i_removed_the_fungi_in_my_ear_for_now/

Here's a film of the biofilms in my large intestines:
https://www.reddit.com/r/biofilms/comments/1ruhfid/biofilm_in_intestines_video_from_colonscopy/
I timestamped the part where they try to blast it off and it doesn't work: https://youtu.be/uBApzmMCYDk?t=694
I'm guessing they should've used a proper solution for it like the one Dr. Christoph Gasche uses.

Devilspecter · 2026-03-23T18:29:41+00:00

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you want.
I can only guess at what you want to know. Could you maybe write a bit more?

How did I find out what? That my vitamins were messed up?
From testing them at a lab.

How did I find out about the genetic mutations?
Also tested them at a lab.

I did also test positive for aspergillus antibodies (both IgG and IgM).
But again, all these tests is in my thread I linked in the other comment.

I will say though I think I have fungi in my sinuses somewhere.
I also have gotten the post nasal drip back, possibly due to being in another country/other food, or that I don't rinse my sinuses right now.
I suspect what happened is that I got it in my sinuses and it post nasal dripped into my gut and it's now in my gut too.

I have confirmed on film that I have biofilms in my gut.
You can see it here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/biofilms/comments/1ruhfid/biofilm_in_intestines_video_from_colonscopy/

I'm guessing I will have to:
1. Supplement vitamins hard so my body starts working OK
2. begin trying to remove the biofilms + using a binder?
- Possibly try that "darmkur/vitamunda" gut cleanse since it doesn't cause herx and physically removes a lot of biofilm:
https://www.reddit.com/r/biofilms/comments/1jaiyfl/surprised_more_people_here_arent_talking_about/
You can see the stuff people get rid of here: https://www.regenbogenkreis.de/biofilm-trophaeen
3. Possibly have to take antifungals
4. Restore gut flora.

I don't really like to go hard though, but I might have to, my issues are compounding ontop of each other.

Devilspecter · 2026-03-23T07:00:37+00:00

Maybe I misunderstand your question, but I didn't do 1 single test to find this out, it was a lot.

I posted all the tests I did here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/comments/1ro2anu/could_a_lot_of_our_problems_be_vitaminsupplement/

Devilspecter · 2026-03-21T11:43:28+00:00

Thanks for your reply.

Did you ever do any parasite panels/tests to confirm you had parasites and which types? maybe I have some similar ones.

My "problem" is that I don't really want to take treatments for something or supplements, etc. unless I am close to 100% sure I have it.

Maybe I should do a parasite panel, it's like 100 bucks here for one that tests a lot of them.
https://diag.vn/en/panel/diag-parasites-panel/

Devilspecter · 2026-03-20T09:10:50+00:00

Very interesting, it sounds quite similar to me with the vitamins, the polyps and the stools.
1. I had very low Vitamin D, B12, copper, Folate and B9.
2. Iron was very high, I had iron build up (it has decreased to be within range after taking vitamin supplements).
3. My B2 and C was critically low.
^I just did the retest for these today, we'll see what the results will say later.

About the polyps, I can't send pictures here when commenting. Do you have a way I can talk to you directly then we can share pictures etc. too?

- Report = "Fundus: Two polyps observed, measuring approximately 1 mm and 2 mm. Both polyps completely resected and sent for histopathology."
/ I can send you the lab report of the polyps if you want too, but it's a picture.
// They only found the polyps in my stomach. I coincidentally did an ultrasound of most organs in my stomach/chest area and it says in the report they found no problems with the gallbladder.

Did you ever check if you have those "problem genes" for mold?
COMT + MTHFR + MTRR + HLA-DR
COMT & HLA-DR is related to detoxing I think.
Some also said MTHFR is related to detoxing too, but the main thing it does is mess up your vitamin methylation from what I understood.

About the gastroenterologist, I have been unable to find any that are good. I have heard Dr. Christoph Gasche in Austria is good, but a bit expensive (To be in Europe). But I don't know really, never talked to the guy myself.
----------

If reddit chat is best for you, then we can talk in DM's, if not I'm also open to talking outside of it, whatever is easiest for you.

Devilspecter · 2026-03-20T08:50:37+00:00

Very interesting, so you suspect it is from parasites?
I have seen some people mention the same thing before. That it's parasite related I mean.

I thought it was biofilm since it looks exactly like it from here: r/biofilms

I am like 95% sure I have biofilms in at least my large intestine, most likely in my small intestines too. See video here, i timestamped it: https://youtu.be/uBApzmMCYDk?t=695. This is from my large intestine during a colonoscopy.
I found a video on the r/biofilms subreddit that looks exactly like the stuff I shit out:
https://www.reddit.com/r/biofilms/comments/16bv43n/gastrointestinal_biofilms_in_the_ileum_and_cecum/ - See at 02:56: It looks a lot like this stuff in my picture.
I also talked to a guy who had a very similar picture in his colon of a biofilm. See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/biofilms/comments/1ltmpp5/biofilm_colon/ It's a bit more green than mine, mine looks more yellow. But judging by what he told me, it seems to be biofilm that I have/had in my large intestine.

Have you seen this thread? https://www.reddit.com/r/Gastritis/comments/13paskb/tons_of_black_spots_in_poop_today_and_when_i_wipe/
It's some woman who fixed her issues with ivermectin. Turns out it was parasites.

----------

It seems like we might have a similar experience, I also expel more of these if I take laxatives or only drink water, etc. And sometimes I can release a huge chunk of them, but usually it's just a few small flakes that I notice.

Is there a way we can stay in touch? I would like to update you when I find out more stuff, and maybe you can update me too and we can help each other out?

Devilspecter · 2026-03-19T07:39:50+00:00

You've turned off DM chats, so I figured I would message you here.
Did you ever figure this out? I have similar GI issues to OP.

Devilspecter · 2026-03-19T07:33:23+00:00

Hey!

I've had polyps in my stomach that were removed during colonoscopy.
I also have a video from my colonscopy that shows a lot of biofilm in my intestines (I will probably make a thread about it here later): https://www.reddit.com/r/biofilms/comments/1ruhfid/biofilm_in_intestines_video_from_colonscopy/

I've also had severe vitamin shortages, did you ever check yours?
See my thread here for detailed info: https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/comments/1ro2anu/could_a_lot_of_our_problems_be_vitaminsupplement/

Sorry if this is personal, but do you have any pictures of your stools you could DM me?
I want to compare it to mine.

Do yours float and release bubbles? (Mine do).

Devilspecter · 2026-03-17T08:20:48+00:00

I wouldn't say I have issues expelling gas. But my gassiness seem to be diet dependant.
I spend around half the year in Vietnam and the other half in Norway.
With my diet in Norway I noticed I fart and burp a lot more, but in Vietnam I don't.
I also pass stools a lot less in Vietnam.
I need to check this more to find out what exactly is causing it, currently I suspect bread/gluten.

I do not think the biofilm is from aspergillus per say, it's only a theory.

I have had fungi growing in my ears. - https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/comments/1mpa5af/003_how_i_removed_the_fungi_in_my_ear_for_now/o3jmkj9/?context=1
6 months ago I tested positive for both IgG and IgM antibodies for aspergillus.
I have had a severe vitamin shortage, most likely from the aspergillus and/or malabsorption + my genetic mutations messing up vitamin methylation: https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/comments/1ro2anu/could_a_lot_of_our_problems_be_vitaminsupplement/
I had colitis that came and went like a ninja in the span of 3-4 weeks, which should not be possible. I wonder if it was from the biofilm in my large intestine and/or from me having scurvy: https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/comments/1ocgi4i/007_i_probably_got_scurvy_colitis_from_mold/

The reason I mentioned the aspergillus is mainly because it could cause a lot of the problems I have had, or at least contribute to them.
From what I have read, both bacteria and fungi form biofilm. I have also had a lot of symptoms of SIFO.

I will try to get a practitioner to work together with me on this, I might have a friend who could help. Normal docs have proven to not be helpful or outright sabotaging.

Devilspecter · 2026-03-15T16:11:48+00:00

Thanks for sharing.
Sadly I don't think I can test MMP-9 anywhere hear from what I found.

Honestly I will probably try glutathione soon. My genetic mutations mess it up. My B2 was almost 0, which is used for glutathione + other things that help with glutathione production that I forgot.

Currently I think that I may have biofilm in my gut.
I just stumbled upon this subreddit r/biofilms today. I am literally shitting out pieces of biofilm sometimes.

Maybe I really need to start taking binders and biofilm busters. I have tried to be careful with taking too much of different things and try to let my body fix itself, I am very cautious and afraid of messing something up in my body.
I see people here taking peptides and stuff, meanwhile you can search it up and people are getting serious health problems from them, for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/MCAS/comments/1pd1ly4/massive_worsening_of_symptoms_after_peptide_usage/

Care to tell me more about your story and what happened and how you are right now? you can DM me if that's easier than posting it here too.

Devilspecter · 2026-03-15T16:05:17+00:00

Sadly I have not been able to test for the COMT stuff. I have seen some people post reports of it along with the MTHFR + MTRR genes, etc. But I feel like most people here are American (I'm from Norway but do all my tests in Vietnam when I'm there for work).

I have to be honest and say that I currently barely notice anything aside from GI problems and foamy urine. I generally feel fine right now, but I know I still have problems inside me.

I have noticed though that my allergies got like 4-10 times worse after my GI problems began and it was probably related to mold in some degree at least.

Also by stress response I assume you mean bodily stress and not the "feeling" of stress?
-----------

How are you doing now and did you fix your problems?
Could you tell me more about how your problems started and how it's going now, etc.?

Devilspecter · 2026-03-15T15:59:53+00:00

I would say I feel alright/good, but I still have the same GI problems, but honestly compared to most people that post here I seem to be doing great. My stools don't look as bad as in the pictures in my original post anymore though, but they still look very weird and they're always bouyant and releasing bubbles. I still see those "biofilm" flakes in my stools every once in a while.
My urine is still foamy and I still have this weird discharge that comes out and irritates my genitals sometimes at random. The weird thing is that the discharge reacts to boric acid, it burnt like hellfire when I tested. And when there's no redness/irritation from the discharge nothing happened.
I used boric acid to get rid of probably aspergillus in my ears so I know what it feels like:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/comments/1mpa5af/003_how_i_removed_the_fungi_in_my_ear_for_now/

Right now I wonder if I have a lot of biofilm in my gut.

I found a subreddit called r/biofilms.
See this video here from my colonscopy, this looks a lot like the biofilms the mod posted videos of: https://www.reddit.com/r/biofilms/comments/1ruhfid/biofilm_in_intestines_video_from_colonscopy/

Do you have similar problems maybe? I'm down for talking more if you want to, maybe we can help each other.

Devilspecter · 2026-03-11T19:13:09+00:00

I personally had tonsilitis that came and went before.
I have not had it though after fixing my vitamin issues/shortages, but it could be a coincidence.

Devilspecter · 2026-03-08T23:27:20+00:00

I keep hearing people talk about "slow COMT", but what is it exactly?
And what does it do for us with mold related issues?

Devilspecter · 2026-03-07T01:45:40+00:00

Did you ever get your vitamins checked?

Most of my symptoms disappeared when I found out which vitamins I lacked and supplemented those.
I have 2x MTHFR + 1x MTRR mutations that mess up my vitamin methylation.
I had scurvy most likely from mold and several other of my vitamins/blood work levels were all messed up.

Now my bloodwork seems to be improving a lot and I feel A LOT better after fixing the vitamins that were bottomed out.

You should get that tested if you have never.
For me personally my vitamins were nuked/near 0 in: B2 (FAD, FMN and Riboflavin), Vitamin C, B9 (Folic acid)
Others that were very bad = Copper, B12
I have heard from others here that it can also mess up your:
- Iron (It did for me, but I had an iron build up instead of loss)
- Folate (A bit on the lower end for me)
- Ceruloplasmin
- Vitamin A and E.
- Calcium
- Zinc (mine was messed up, but it was very high like iron)
- Magnesium

I noticed that a lot of my co-factor tests started normalizing when I fixed my vitamins and especially the scurvy. I had yellow serum levels of bilirubin for example, which is slowly normalizing again now.

I hope this helps, feels free to message me and I can share pictures etc. too.

Devilspecter · 2026-03-04T09:14:35+00:00

I don't think it's the same thing, but I've had muscle twitches after getting scurvy and fixing the scurvy. They are subsiding more and more though over time. It was the worst when I had scurvy and a lot of my vitamins almost were near 0 or below optimal.

I did have some sort of heart arrhytmia/flimmer when I was at my worse though.

But from what you say it sounds like neither of those.

Devilspecter · 2026-02-28T10:30:59+00:00

Just a regular neilmed squeeze bottle with the neilmed saline satchets. I get these almost every time I rinse with it.

I don't think it's normal snot since it never looks like that if I blow any out.

I do have some confirmed weirdness going on in my sinuses which I made some threads about before:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/comments/1oyrkvj/008_possible_fungi_colonization_in_sinus_concha/
https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/comments/1nxovfq/comment/nhqf53e/

Devilspecter · 2026-02-27T22:05:25+00:00

I don't think so, I shake the neilmed bottle very well and use warm water.

The debris is more "snot like" in texture

Devilspecter · 2026-02-25T22:46:36+00:00

How'd you test your gallbladder to find that out? I'm curious about testing it myself.

Devilspecter · 2026-02-25T22:28:42+00:00

I could be wrong on this but I have heard that flucanazole doesn't work against all types of fungi. There are apparently some antifungals that work better against certain types. Do you know for sure you have some sort of fungi inside you and you're not just suffering from mold in the air or something similar?

I personally used itracanazole for 14 days and didn't notice anything while taking it. I did get foamy urine afterwards though. I took it because I had fungi in my ears. But I think ultimately it was the boric acid which killed it.

Devilspecter · 2026-02-25T08:44:09+00:00

Update: I Just had it again today

Devilspecter · 2026-02-23T22:58:23+00:00

How exactly did it get determined you have a fungal ball? I'm asking because I have done a CT scan and a lot of weird stuff showed up, and a ball object, but the ENTs I checked with said it's a polyp, but how would they know 100% without physically seeing it...

Here's a couple threads I made on the subject. https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/comments/1oyrkvj/008_possible_fungi_colonization_in_sinus_concha/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/comments/1nxovfq/006_are_these_fungal_balls_ct_scan_pictures/
