Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about your 27 year old husband and understood your concerns.
Watery dark green to back stool indicate severe intestinal infection and blood in stool that is altered to black color.
This can be serious hence I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Consult your Doctor or ER urgently for clinical evaluation, examination and investigations of blood and stool.
Get him Intravenous fluids and antibiotics if required.
Oral antibiotics active against intestinal infection, metronidazole, probiotics and so on.
Oral rehydration solution, plenty of boiled and cooled fluids.
Homemade foods only.
Tests of blood and stool.
Further management as required.
