Although a picture of it would help determining what it is exactly, that could depend on the diet and could be completely normal (especially if kind of jelly material). It could be even a worm! If persistent that could be due to underlying malabsorption of nutrients, or gastrointestinal inflammation/infection. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
