Green Poop What It Looks Like: Instead of stepping out in its go-to brown, your poop decides to shake things up with head-to-toe green — and not because it's St. Patrick's Day.
What It Means: Eating spinach, green Jell-O or items with artificial food coloring can lend your turd a tinge of green. But if the shade switch-up is accompanied by more frequent bowel movements, that could be a sign of an infection. "There are several classic gastrointestinal infections that can cause this but the most common is Clostridium difficile (commonly called C. difficile)," says Sheth. "You can get this infection if you've been on strong antibiotics, which can disrupt the normal makeup of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract." Guess it really isn't easy being green, after all.
