As repugnant and bemired the thought of the topic may sound, it is still one of numerous ways of monitoring our health. Just as urine color reveals a lot regarding the state of our kidneys, feces(stools) are also major health “biomarkers” in which vital health signals are passed through color, odour and texture.

Feces are semi-solid or solid remains of the food that could not be absorbed in the small intestine but has been degraded by intestinal bacteria in the large intestine. It is discharged through the anus via a process called defecation.

Stool comes in different type of colors. All shades of brown and even green are considered normal. Only rarely does stool color indicate a potentially serious intestinal condition.

Stool color is generally influenced by what you eat as well as by the amount of bile — a yellow-green fluid that digests fats — in your stool. As bile pigments travel through your gastrointestinal tract, they are chemically altered by enzymes, changing the pigments from green to brown.

I am sure you are already eager to learn something new today. Therefore, Let’s elucidate this topic further by listing different physical features to look out for in our stool.

PHYSICAL SIGNS TO OBSERVE IN STOOLS AND THEIR POSSIBLE CAUSES.

1. GREEN COLORATION:
Meaning: Food may be moving through the large intestine too rapidly. As a result, bile doesn’t have time to break down completely. Normally bile is chemically changed by bacteria in the intestine to a greenish-brown color. It takes time for the bile to be fully changed in the intestine and become brown again, and if the transit time is short, for example, when a person has diarrhea, the stool remains green colored.


Possible dietary Causes: Green stool may be a normal variant. They also can be caused by a diet rich in green vegetables, green flavored food drinks and iron supplements....https://drtunesblog./2018/06/01/how-well-do-you-know-your-poop
