A member asked:
My poop was brown but the water in toilet was orange, what can this mean? i think the stool could have been orange too. what can orange stool mean?

Stool color: The stool can be colored differently depending upon what we have eaten. The color of the stool can then affect the color of the toilet water. This does not sound alarming, and likely you will see fluctuation in the color as your diet fluctuates.
