Color. Feces are normally brown because of pigments formed by bacteria acting on the bile that comes into the digestive system from the liver. Bleeding from the esophagus, stomach, or small intestine produces black, tarry stool called melena that has a very bad odor. Large bleeds from the large intestine cause the red color you'd expect from blood; small ones from anywhere in the gut are invisible. Liver problems, such as jaundice or a blockage of the bile duct that connects the liver to the small intestine, may result in acholic (which means without bile) stool that is white or pale.

In many cases, however, changes in the color of feces are completely harmless. Darkly pigmented foods like blueberries and beets can change the color. Iron pills and the bismuth in Pepto-Bismol darken stool. The contrast agents in imaging studies lighten it.
