The colour of your stool is determined by the foods you have ingested and any presence of blood in your bowels.

Hi kelsiholly2,
Funny question actually, i think our "natural waste" it sometimes oddly colored because of the foods and their colors.

Poop is brown because of the leftover cells from the body. Golden poop is usually a sign of infection in the bowels so watch out!
