Keep them for your water dude to look at, he'll know by looking at them if they are the resin particles.
Also, check the water tank on the back of the toilet. The resin settles to the bottom and looks like a little sandbar. Sorry you're having a problem. Hope all is well soon. Bypassing the system is a good idea. Hopefully the mystery will be solved and all will be rectified quickly.
I don't have a water softener but I do get sand in the toilet tanks. Not sure where the sand comes from but I just empty the tank and clean out the sand about once or twice a year. I'm on my third Villages home. None had softeners but all had the sand issues.
