What causes blue poop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blue poop: Blue food coloring is a popular food additive, and when ingested in large quantities can make stools appear blue. Blue is not a pigment typically produced by the human GI tract. Blue is however the color that a hemoccult card will turn if blood is detected in stool--is this to what you are referring?
