Stool green and black may be related to functional dyspepsia, bacillary dysentery, irritable bowel syndrome and other reasons.

1, functional dyspepsia

functional dyspepsia occurs, the digestive process may be affected, leading to food in the intestinal stay time prolonged, and bacterial contact time will increase. In the role of intestinal flora in food pigments may be oxidized or reduced, thus changing the color of stool, making it green-black.

2, bacillary dysentery

bacillary dysentery may affect intestinal function, resulting in an increase in pigment bacteria in the intestine, such as Clostridium perfringens, these bacteria will produce a large number of pigments, eventually making stool appear green-black.

3, irritable bowel syndrome irritable

bowel syndrome patients intestinal acid-base balance may be out of balance, when the acidic environment changes, intestinal bacteria metabolic activities may also be affected, easy to make the color of stool change, such as green black.
