A member asked:
Constipated for 2 weeks but just passed stool that was two completely different types at once. some was soft mushy lighter brown but not pale and the other was normal solid but a deep green maybe blue ish? is this something to be concerned about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, difference is due to different timing and location in the large intestine. Availability of water is also a factor. Hope it helps.
