The color of your stool

I searched for some information about that and it seems that if there are some abnormalities one can have some kind of digestive issue.
I got interested in this case bacause last time I had a green poop. Usually I do not have a well formed one, but a bit loose, brown-yellowish. One week ago through 2 days I had very black, tarry one.
What the hell is wrong? I read that green stool can mean that nutrients are not properly absorbed due to some kind of bateria issue in intestine track. Does anyone experienced similar?

It may indicate that stool goes to fast through intestine and minerals absorption is lowered. Did you do something specific at that time or it just went away?

Near yellow means lack of bile. Brown comes from bile pigments.
Floating means they contain fat.
Reddish comes from beetroot!
Very black can be from loosing blood, but digested blood.

The best sign is when you do not need toilet paper, or it stays clean...
