A member asked:
Is it normal for poop to sometimes be a combination of light brown and dark brown?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
The color of poop starts out as ultra green (bile color) and transitions through yellows to browns based on germ action in the gut. The shorter poop stays inside the more toward green it can become/longer-lighter to darker browns. I wouldn't fret over the finding.
