I love the customer service there and all their employees, they’re so sweet and helpful. I cannot help but notice multiple times consuming Trader Joe’s products and numerous times eating the frozen meals from there, I have all had major issues processing and breaking down the food.... See More I would have extreme diarrhea. So today I pooped and noticed I pooped a lot, this is my 3rd round of pooping after flushing 2 other consecutive rounds. Im finding what looks like it could be parasites but I never had that happen before nor know if that’s what they look like if they even come out of your rectum. I’m looking harder and it seems like it may be noodles and bean sprouts and scallions that didn’t get digested. That definitely look like it was the Trader Joe’s frozen vegetable pad Thai. I ate other meals after that. I am confused. | Symptoms: Diarrhea See Less
