Hi,
The consistency of stool and color of it is entirely depends upon the diet taken, if no symptoms are there then it is the normal one and no need to worry about this, the symptoms is the indication of some disease if this is with the change of color and consistency of stool, and just to clear the doubt, stool can be sent for lab test.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
