If your stool color is anything other than brown, you have abnormally colored poop. The reason that your stool should be brown is due to the bile in the liver, and any change in that, whether it be black or green, can indicate a problem with your liver or your colon. If you are experiencing these problems, read on to find out what you can do to alleviate it...
First, you have to decide whether you are having black or green bowel movements. They are caused by two separate reasons, and each one may indicate something else is wrong. If you have a stool that looks both black and dark green, go with the dark green analysis, as that is usually the case.
A Black Bowel Movement
Usually the most common reason for this type of bowel movement is because of an excessive amount of iron ingested in the body. If you are taking an iron supplement, this may be the cause.
Other, much more severe issues, are internal bleeding or a liver disease, and each one of those should be approached in conjunction with your doctor if the black stools persist after a thorough detoxification.
Green Bowel Movement
Usually green bowel movements are caused by something you have ingested as well. It is more than likely caused by eating green vegetables such as lettuce and spinach.
Additionally, artificial coloring, such as those found in fruit juices and ice cream can cause the dark green color you see. On a lesser scale, iron in the food can be a contributor.
One of the best ways to combat these is by detoxifying your body by using a colon cleanse. The benefits of a good cleanse have been well documented and should be approached as a viable solution to the stool color problem.
