1. Dietary factors
Some foods contain natural pigments, such as spinach, beet, etc., which combine with feces in the intestine and lead to brown stools.
2. Indigestion
When food is not fully digested and absorbed in the intestine, the pigments and nutrients may not be fully released, resulting in abnormal stool color and characteristics, such as brown slimy.
3. Intestinal
mucus secreted by intestinal mucosa is a protective substance that helps lubricate the intestine and protect the intestinal mucosa. When enteritis occurs, intestinal mucosa secretion will increase, resulting in increased mucus content in stools, and then presents a brown slimy state.
