im male 24 yo over the last month i have a fishy taste in my mouth when i burp but i do not eat fish, my stool has become very dark and blood in flem?

Accepted Answer

You need to see: Your doctor to send you to the proper channel. The fact that you have a black stool, mean there is blood above the large intestine, but the fact that you burp it could be from the stomach or upper small intestine, and the fact that you see in in your phlegm means it could even be higher. So see your doctor first for initial work up and then to the proper specialist.

Question 6

what makes up  feces?

Accepted Answer

Undigested food: After your intestinal track does its magic, extracting the nutritional and energetic elements from what you eat, then what is left over is concentrated in your colon and passes out as feces.  This is true throughout the animal kingdom.

Question 7

what makes long greenish feces?

Accepted Answer

Transit time: Eating green leafy vegetables can lead to green stool.  Green cabbage, lettuce, peas, cabbage, spinach, broccoli, green salad, green leaves, celery and green beans as well as food that contains green food coloring can lead to green stool. If the stool was loose, the reason for green stool could be too rapid a transit time in the gut.

Question 8

what causes feces to be green ish?

Accepted Answer

The amount of bile: Liver makes bile and secretes it to help us digest food stuffs.  Some food needs more bile to digest than others. Stools can be yellow, green, brown or dark brown. Call md if stool is white, black and sticky or red.

Question 9

why does my feces look like powder?

Accepted Answer

Get it checked out: Not sure but you should see your doctor and possibly get a stool test to make sure everything is ok.

Question 10

what can the color of feces tell you?

Accepted Answer

A lot, actually.: The usual brown color of stool is a result of your body breaking down the hemoglobin lost by dying red blood cells. If, for example, a patient were in liver failure, this breakdown would not occur and the stool would be much more pale in color. There are many other conditions which can change stool color. Not to mention, the body may struggle to absorb food colorings and dyes (think kids' cereal).
