HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, what the consistency and the color of stool you noticed are not due to any disease but it seems to be due to the diet taken, and not needs to worry about that, if this persistence then it may require medical attention and then stool needed to be sent for investigation routine and microscopic hope this information helps.
