A member asked:
For months i had constipation which caused a anal fissure. then my stools started turning green all the time and now are yellow all the time. reasons?

Not related: An anal fissure is a localized tear, but stool changes are influenced by diet and function of the digestive system. Consistently very dark or very light stools may signal an underlying problem, so see your doctor if this persists.

CONSTIPATION: Color of stools depends on what you eat.In babies, green stools are starvation while yellow means normal.
