If there's not enough of it to give your poop its typical brown color, it could be the sign of a problem along the way. Liver disease, such as hepatitis, can keep bile from getting into your body waste. So can a blockage in the tubes (called ducts) that carry bile.

Poop Color 101 The color is the result of what you eat and how much bile is in your stool. Bile is a fluid your liver makes to digest fats. It starts out as a yellowish green color. But as the pigments that give bile its color travel through your digestive system, they go through chemical changes and turn brown.

Suspect diarrhea if the stools suddenly increase in number or looseness. If it lasts for 3 or more stools, the baby has diarrhea. If the stools contain mucus, blood, or smells bad, this points to diarrhea. Other clues to diarrhea are poor eating, acting sick or a fever.

When your child's snot is green, it means the white blood cells are working overtime to fight off their infection. Your child may need antibiotics to help fight off the infection if your child has green mucus and that mucus persists for more than 10 days.

In breastfed babies, poop will often be mustard-like: The color is usually yellow, green or light brown in color; and the consistency will be loose, even watery, and sometimes seedy, mushy, curdy, creamy, pasty or lumpy. It smells sweet (ish!) — not your usual bowel-movement odor.

Green– This could be a sign that your dog has been eating an excessive amount of grass. It can also indicate a parasite, ingestion of rat bait or other issues. Watch the poop to see if this continues to know whether a trip to the vet is needed.

It may be due to bile pigment in the stool because diarrhea moves food too quickly thorough the intestine so the intestinal chemicals and bacteria can't break down the bile pigment to its normal brown color, or the green color may be due to certain foods like green, leafy vegetables or green food coloring.

The bowel movements of most breastfed babies tend to be very loose, yellow, and seedy. Although they may resemble what we would consider diarrhea, this is actually totally normal. The best way to diagnose diarrhea is to look at the frequency of your baby's poops, not just the texture.
