It depends on what you've eaten.
Green, leafy vegetables contain chlorophyll, which can color the stool green. Foods that have certain kind of additives, such as artificial flavors or colors, may also have a greening effect.
The bile that's in your small intestines is green; it turns brown as it passes through the lower intestine. If the food passed through really quickly, it would retain the green color.

Depends on what was eaten. You eat a lot of greens, you poop green stuff. You eat a lot of meat and starches, you poop brown. Also, oxidation of the bile salts upon exposure to air might change the color of poop... if exposed for an extended period of time. (Smelly!)

speaking approximately poop with a woman, isn't the terrific subject rely of debate yet seeing which you asked, i will clarify to you why poop is each so often brown, and each so often eco-friendly. the colour of poop is plagued by potential of what we devour. ingredients like meats, fish, rice, pasta, potatoes, breads, soups etc., will reason poop to be brown in color while, nutrition that are made out of spinach, eco-friendly beans, broccoli, okra, and eco-friendly vegetables particularly, will reason poop to be eco-friendly in color. Having reported poop with you, i think of that sometime quickly I additionally should talk (constantly with you) the bowel equipment particularly.

Your sphikter is pretty weak when it is green. It is slimy and green. When it is strong it compacts all of your excrement into a solid brown pile of poo.

Green when there's an abundance of "iron" in your body and the waste will be green.
Brown is normal.
