Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I review your photo and I can say as follows:
1. You are reporting to have used cucumber. It may cause your symptoms like loose stools with green colour.
2. I need to know if you have used spinach too. It may cause your symptoms too.
Otherwise I suggest to stop using cucumber for this week and if the colour of your stools become normal than there is nothing to be worried.

Hope it was helful to you.

Hi back
Sorry for my late.

It is not a black stool, it is a dark green stool.
To my opinion it is mostly related with green vegetables and cucumber not fully absorbed.
Otherwise I would like to know which drugs or laxatives are you using. It is important to me knowing your drugs , so I can give e more accurate opinion about them side effects .

Brief Answer:
There is nothing to be worried

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
Your green dark stools may be related with :
- green vegetables use
- looz use ( rarely side effects )
- nutralax usage
To my opinion there is nothing to be worried. It is totally related with your diet.
It is not GI hemorrhage and it is not related with any issue.
To my opinion you need to lower the dosage of nutralax because your stools anr not well formed.
Hope it was helpful to you.
