Blue???: In general, greenish stool may indicate your food is passing through your system too quickly (often caused by fatty/greasy/"fast food") such that the bile pigments produced by the liver are insufficiently broken down. Also consuming large amounts of leafy green veggies, excessive amounts of green food coloring, licorice candy with anise, or iron supplements. Blue is rare: blue drinks, etc.
