Funny-colored Poop in 21-Month-old

I have consulted this website many times for poop issues. It is very helpful!

Food can definitely play a part in the color, also I heard with stomach viruses, if it is green it is because it is going through their system too fast and isn't absorbed, like when they have diareha. At her age her appetite will fluctuate a ton. If there is no fever I would try not giving green beans and see if it clears up, if not and it continues just call your Dr office and ask a nurse. I do this to save me a unnecessary visit many times!

I wouldnt worry about it unless you see any blood or mucus in it. Everyones poop can change in color depending on what they eat and what their body is shedding.

I found with my kids generally when their poop changes (green) colors when they eat certain things things like "Trix" cereal. I've noticed that some of the colored cereals do that. Atleast to my kids. I won't worry too much, it's just one of those crazy things. In fact my son notified me the other day that Trix cereal turns his poop green. The crazy things kids say, but yet some what informational!

I freaked out when my son had bright green poop -- until I remembered that we'd had blueberries the day before. Try not to worry about it to much. I've been told the only time you need to worry about it is if there is black in her poop -- which might be blood and a sign of serious problems. If you are still worried, call the pediatricians office and ask. That's what they are there for.
