This is kind of a random question but me and mom were talking about it earlier and don't know if it really works like this or not.. If you eat a bunch of food with food coloring in it will your poo turn that color and if it's a bunch of colors will it be like rainbow poo? Ha ha. And yes this is a real question.

I don't think that if you were to use all different kinds, it would come out like a rainbow, because it would probably just mix and turn darker. But I think food coloring definitely affects the color. I remember on a nature program, some zookeepers wanted to see if some big ugly animal was pregnant. I think it was a hippo or something, and I remember they put blue food coloring in her food. I remember that big fat butt squeezing out the blue poop,it was nasty. They needed to color it blue so they could identify her poop. So it works with hippos, at least.

Internal secretion of body fluids like bile are yellowish...so if you add colored food..the result of your poo is most likely their color mix like a blue colored food mostlikely the outcome is green c",)
