Why exactly is poop brown?

There is a breakdown product of hemoglobin (a major component of red blood cells) called bilirubin.  Bilirubin is eliminated through urination and defecation but it breaks down into the other products.  One of the products is yellow (so that's y pee is yellow)....the other product is brown (and that's y poop is brown)

Humus is typically dark brown to black in color. More likely, the brown comes from organic materials or iron and iron oxides.

It depends on your diet.  If you take iron it will be dark dark brown.  If you drink a lot of carrot juice it will be orange.  Average diet will make it medium to light brown. \n\nMany infants have green... which may be because they drink a lot of milk (this one I am not sure about.)\n\nIf you are worried, then call a doctor.  Hope I have helped.

How dark is dark? tar colored feces means there is blood in your stool and you need to go see your doctor to have a test for blood in your stool.

That's like asking if the white speck on the top of chicken poop is better than the black stuff on the bottom.  It is all chicken poop.

Ok, sinkers are the best.  Floaters usually indicate to much fat in your diet.  Green poop is normal.  Stinky (more than usuall) can indicate a digestive problem, nothing serious, maybe a little bug.  If your poop is hard, it means that you are not drinking enough water &/or not getting enough fiber. Dirreah can be caused from a meriad of things including: Illness, Irratable Bowel Syndrome, gallbladder problems, Acid Reflux, and lactose intolerance.  Corn in poop is fine.  Hot poop is normal (if you have eaten spicy foods recently).  Blood in your poop is not good though.  If you have that, call a doctor immediately.

There are many reasons why feces can be green. For one thing, it can be because of food you ate. Green, leafy vegetables contain chlorophyll, which can color the stool green. Foods that have certain kinds of additives, such as artificial flavors or colors, may also have a greening effect. It could also mean that the stool passed too quickly through the large intestine. If it continues, please see your doctor.

Typical colour of feces is due to bilirubin and biliverdin break down products.  These pigments are present in bile and ultimately are metabolites from haemoglobin.

It is because secreted into the bowel are two substances which colour it - Bilirubin which is redish, and biliverdin which is greenish. Put them together and you get brown.

The consistency of your stool (poop) is based on what you've eaten.  Solid poop requires less wiping.  That's the *bottom" line about wiping.  ; )

I have consulted with a doctor, a physiologist and a microbiologist on this question, and the following summarizes their answers: \n    Healthy people can have green poop if they eat a diet rich in leafy green vegetables, or if they consume large quantities of food coloring (in ice cream, cake frosting etc.). \n    Green poop can also be caused by excess iron in the diet, from dietary supplements, for example. If the body does not absorb all the iron consumed, the iron may stain the poop green, the color of iron (II) salts. Ordinarily, the green color may be masked by the normal brown poop color, but if digestion is thrown off by illness so that bilirubin is less concentrated in the intestine, the green color may become apparent. This can happen when a person is afflicted with diarrhea. \n    Green poop in sick babies may come from iron in baby formula not being properly absorbed, or by green pigments in bile salts (again, green from iron).

Magic poo? Lol perhaps poo was hard enough or you are constipated so poo had little water content to adhere to anus walls. That’s not good, because constipation indicated lack of diet fiber or another cause must be investigated.

The chalky-white paste called urate (made of uric-acid crystals) is a byproduct of bird kidneys. What you actually see is the color of the whitish crystals. Swimming in urate is a chunk of stool (solid waste). This piece is usually hard and worm-like, and gets its color from the bird's diet. Hues range from greenish for birds who feed on plant seeds and green vegetables, to brownish for brown birdseed, and reddish for strawberries. For shrimp-eating seabirds, it's pink!\nTo top it all off, bird poop contains a tiny sprinkle of urine. Why so little? "Aside from the ostrich, birds don't have bladders and can't carry a lot of water around. They'd be too heavy to fly," explains ornithologist (bird expert) Jerome Jackson at Florida Gulf Coast University. (By the way, the ostrich can't fly.)\n\nThink bird poop is just waste? Think again. Veterinarians see it as an indicator of bird health. Abnormal colors like red urine and urate may be signs of internal bleeding. Brown urate may signal lead poisoning, and green or yellow urate may mean liver disease. Colorful indeed!

When 'poo' floats, it contains a lot of fat in it.  Fat is lighter than water.
