A member asked:
Could you name a disease for each tipe of stool? greenish-brown stools; greenish-black and sticky; pinkish-red; bright green. thanks a lot!

No. : It doesn't work that way. Stool color is influenced by diet and gut bacteria. The variations in stool color, consistency, and texture are not necessarily associated with any disease. See your doctor if bowel function is consistently abnormal.
