Healthy people can have green poop if they eat a diet rich in leafy green vegetables, or if they consume large quantities of food coloring (in ice cream, cake frosting etc.). Green poop can also be caused by excess iron in the diet, from dietary supplements, for example. If the body does not absorb all the iron consumed, the iron may stain the poop green, the color of iron (II) salts.

Firstly, if you have had a green bowel movement there is no need to be overly worried. There are generally two causes for a green bowel movement:
something you have ingested, such as large amounts of green, leafy vegetables, green or purple artificial colouring, or iron supplements
a variation in the gut transit time, particularly fast transit caused by diarrhea and IBS.
The colour of a bowel movement generally depends on the colour of the food eaten and the state of the bile that is produced by the liver. Bile is green in color and is only changed to brown through a proper digestive process, which takes time.

Have you eaten Fruit Loops or something else with a lot of added food dyes? I try to avoid food dyes as much as possible. My 3 yr. old cannot go near them because they do quite a number on his BMs. If your poo is really green then you ate something that made it that way.

Probably you ate too many veggies. Try eating some protein, and drink lots of water to flush your system.

You sound like you are a baby that is seeking attention, why don't put your brain to work and ask some insightful questions

Try to think of what you ate? perhaps a slushy or green candy.

The truth? Seriously? Alright, lots of iron and/or you ingested lots of veggies...

You need to drink way more water that is a sign of dehydration..
