Bathroom question?!


Question: Whenever I poop, it comes out in different shades of brown. It's never the same shade, some are darker and some are lighter. What do the different shades mean? Is it better to have it lighter or darker? Any poop experts out there?

um, from what I remember from Anatomy and Physiology you are fine- the color of your feces varies with what you eat. Wanna see a cool trick? Eat Fruit Loops and it will turn green because your body can't digest the dye they use! Well I think I have said enough about poop, good luck! Oh, btw, if you ever notice that your poop is really dark purple you need to go to ER because you have internal bleeding, and don't worry if it is black or really dark brown- that just means you have too much iron in your system, cut back on red meats and leafy greens like spinach.

I would say it depends on what you eat. I dont think it has anything to do with the amount of fat coming out.

FYI - Mine has corn in it :D

The only reason that poop is brown is because you are expelling old blood cells (if I remember my anatomy and physiology correctly). Different shades don't mean anything. Why would you think that it should always be the same color when you are eating and drinking different things everyday?
