What does it mean if my 'number 2' is green?

yes, in the toilet sense............................
And no i havent eaten anything green in the last few days..........and i havent drunk anything grween............What does it mean if my 'number 2' is green?
There is a simple explanation for green stools.
The liver constantly makes bile, a bright green fluid, that is secreted directly into the small intestine or stored in the gallbladder.
Bile is needed to absorb fats and fat soluble vitamins. It also helps to keep feces soft.
Bile is responsible for giving stools their characteristic brown color. As bile makes its way through the intestines, it progressively changes color from green to yellow to brown, due to the action of bacteria in the large intestine on the bile salts.
Green stools often indicate that food has passed through the intestines faster than normal (called decreased colon transit time), before it could be changed from green to brown.
Diarrhea decreases colon transit time, so any condition that causes diarrhea can result in green stools.
well, my best friend has that problem when she eats too many fruity pebbles or if she eats a ton of pasta.
Number 2 can turn green or black from iron suppliments or iron-rich food or drinks.
Grape Kool aid and Grape juice cause this as well
I agree with your first answer.....no problem.......don't let it worry you.
thats disgusting.................
