Brown stool comes from a combination of bile from your liver and gallbladder, and bilirubin from old hemolyzed red blood cells. Without this combination you may get gray or clay colored stools such as when someone has an obstructing gallstone, or a mass in the liver or the pancreas. And just in case you were wondering, the odor of the stool is do to sulfur producing bacteria in the bowels. The more of these bacteria you have the more foul the smell will be, and the more gas youll pass!
