Help! My Stool Turned Green - What's Causing It?

Topic Explanation
The forum topic is about a user seeking advice on the cause of their green stool and how to return to normal.

Advice and Insights
- Green stool can be caused by a digestive tract bug, food coloring, or a combination of eating anything blue.
- The quantity and timing of meals can affect the color of stool, as the bowels produce greenish bile whether there is food in the bowels or not.
- Iron supplements can also cause stool to turn green.
- Medications with iron can turn stool black, and certain foods or additives can change bowel output, especially for individuals without a large intestine.
- Beets can cause red stool, and certain food colors can result in colorful stool.
- The color of stool can change based on what is eaten or drunk, such as salads, green vegetables, coffee, and Pepsi.
