Yesterday i had soft, very green stool. today, i had a very hard, very dark green, almost black stool. is this cause for concern?

No: You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Get HPV vaccine Practice safe sex
