A member asked:
My baby is 7 month old n her poop is green n she is on formula milk she don't have any other health issues i'm concerned about this?

The color of poo is derived from the waste pigment that end up in the bile, which is added to the intestines from the liver. It starts out an intense green, over time may change thru yellow to brown. The germs of the intestine convert the pigment as it transits the digestive tract. The less germ action the less color change.Loose stools are often a greenish color for this reason, diet matters.
