A human being passes bits of what is grossly unmistakeably raw flesh, which look pinkish-red (like that of liver or some other internal organ) in their stool (perhaps 10-20 several mm x several mm bits per stool). The person is a vegetarian and this has happened each time they've had a bowel movement for at least 4 months. There is no visible blood in the stool, and a three-sample fecal occult blood test was negative and colonoscopy was negative for any gross pathology. Two colon biopsies (left, right) were negative for pathology as well. CBC results were normal. ALT, bilirubin, parasite and ovum, fecal white blood cell tests were also all normal.

What might the source of the raw flesh bits be?

I understand that the prudent action is to "see a doctor." However, the point of this post is to gather ideas on what the source of the raw flesh might be, not what action this person should take.

I eagerly await any responses!

Thanks!

Well, you're just plain wrong about that, despite the resemblance to the liver.....or some other internal organ......

What I do know about this condition, known in the medical community as flesh-pooping bacteria, is that it kills the person instantly if they post on an internet forum.....
 
I love that you were able to use my post as a joke. I hope several people get to laugh at it.

However, after that, it'd be awesome if someone actually gave a stab at a plausible answer.

Didn't this thread happen already? The main answer you're going to get is "go to a doctor" since this thread is suspicious for someone seeking out medical advice (a no-no here).

If there is truly "raw flesh" in the stool, then the hemeoccult would more than likely be + (since "raw flesh" would have blood in it). If the stools are heme -, then they are probably not "raw flesh".

The logical course of action would be to take a stool sample that is full of "raw flesh bits" and look at some of them under a scope - path sections and analysis would tell you what type of cells they contain and potentially where they are coming from.

edit: after perusing your posting history, it's clear you are seeking med advice for yourself. Your questions are not going to be answered to any degree of satisfaction (or accuracy) by med students. You need a GI doc (which judging by your post, you have). SDN is not the place to get your answers.

Apparently you didn't read the post close enough. It is unmistakeable!

The answer is clear:

you have a fetish of stuffing liver up your ass. You just don't want to admit it.
