Re: Does anyone get pure white streaks/spots in their BMs?

White streaks on motions can be mucus - this is nothing to worry about, we all produce mucus in our bowel. It's a natural lubricant to move stool along. Have you been constipated lately? This could cause an increase in mucus.
It can also be caused by IBS.
As for it being parasites, usually when they're passed you can see them wiggling. I apologise if this is TMI for some people, but we're all vulnerable: when I was a child I had threadworms. I remember passing a bowel movement and the worms were visibly wiggling on the surface of the stool.
Symptoms that accompany threadworms may include an itchy anus and sometiems you can see the worms wiggling around outside the anus at night time. But I really doubt you have these!
I really do not see any reason for you to panic about this. You can see your GP if you're concerned, but this just sounds like mucus to me.
Good luck
