I know this is totally TMI but let's get real here, EVERYBODY POOPS. You poop, I poop, my kids poop, my dogs poop, your cat poops, Angelina Jolie poops.... yes, WE ALL POOP.

So that being said, why is poop sometimes green?? I thought only birds poop green.

    It can be caused from vitamins or supplements you could be taking. Anything with a purple hue or dye in it can cause it to have a green tint to it.

    TMI Monday: I once ate Captain Crunch Berries so much that my poop was blue. I *kitten* you not (heh), it was blue. Scared me for a moment.

    Foods and supplements that can cause green stool include:

    Algae, grasses, and supplements that are rich in chlorophyll, such as wheatgrass, spirulina, barley grass, and chlorella
    Iron supplements
    Note: Speak with your doctor about any change in bowel movements.

    It is the Blue Moon ice cream you ate silly, blue cake icing does it too.

    Black Licorice will definitely do it! I'm a witness. I haven't eaten it in a long time though.

    Lucky Charms does it for me. It's magically delicious and makes you poop like a leprechaun.
