What Causes Flesh Colored Lumps In Bowel Movement?
After a pain-free bowel movement I was surprised to see that there were flesh colored lumps or bits of material in the bowl as well. I have seen this once before as well. Is this a symptom of anything? I have no pre-existing conditions that I am aware of.

Hello!
The brown/dark color of our stool is due to the salts that drain from our gallbladder into our intestines. Loss of that color might suggest problems in the drainage of your gallbladder. Kindly have Liver function tests done and an abdominal ultrasound to rule out any stones in the gallbladder.
