A member asked:
Why is my poo mushy dark green and quite smelly for 2 weeks now? and occasionally soft brown colour. no stomachache nor diarrhea. do i need to be concern? thank you

Probably not: Those symptoms don't necessarily denote a serious problem. Smelly stool is nonspecific. Dark green stool is often related to diet such as ingestion of green vegetables. It also is seen if the intestinal transit time increases and bile is not broken properly. Rapid transit loosens stool. Try avoiding harsh roughage or too much fiber to slow intestinal transit. See a gastroenterologist as needed.
