For those who want to avoid the poop link.
"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.).
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."

I shit blue for two solid weeks and started doing all this research to find out WTF it was. Well WebMD said it was likely a symptom of cancer so naturally I started to freak. After that it was red for a few weeks so I got even more freaked. I started going over my diet and realized that my poo switched from blue to red precisely the time I ran out of my grape gatorade and started on the fruit punch.
Haha, I was relieved.
