A member asked:
What causes green poop in adults can eating a lot of lettuce and spinach make your poop color green i had green poop today i was curious is that healthy or is it a sign of cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The stool color is provided by the bile from the liver that is adds to fecal debris. It starts out a deep green & slowly changes thru greens to yellows to browns as the germs in the intestines metabolize the bile. Green generally means the stool in question moved through faster or was subject to less change by gut germs.
