NOTE: Methane, bacterial and degraded food stuffs are present in the stool. So, there is always some odor in the stool but it should not be a strong, pungent odor. The pungent odor can be due to eating too much animal protein or an imbalance of intestinal bacteria or presence of intestinal worms. The black color of the stool indicates bleeding in the upper digestive tract and can be due to digested blood cells. Light green color is a sign of too much consumption of sugar or fruits or vegetables. Clay-colored stools shows that there is a problem with the gall bladder and liver.
