Hello,
The consistency and color and other appearance of the fecal material are due to diet taken only and if this creates the doubt then stool need to send for the lab test that is the only option you have. If you go on looking at the fecal material it may give you a different thought and may put in doubt in absence of serious illness it is nothing to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
