What is poop made of?
About 3/4 of your average turd is made of water. Of course, this value is highly
variable - the water content of diarrhea is much higher, and the amount of water in
poop that has been retained (voluntarily or otherwise) is lower. Water is absorbed out
of fecal material as it passes through the intestine, so the longer a turd resides
inside before emerging, the drier it will be.
Of the remaining portion of the turd, about 1/3 is composed of dead bacteria.
These microcorpses come from the intestinal garden of microorganisms that assist us in
the digestion of our food. Another 1/3 of the turd mass is made of stuff that we find
indigestible, like cellulose, for instance. This indigestible material is called
"fiber," and is useful in getting the turd to move along through the intestine,
perhaps because it provides traction. The remaining portion of the turd is a mixture
of fats such as cholesterol, inorganic salts like phosphates, live bacteria, dead
cells and mucus from the lining of the intestine, and protein.
Why does poop stink?
Poop stinks as a result of the products of bacterial action. Bacteria produce
smelly, sulfur-rich organic compounds such as indole, skatole, and mercaptans, and the
inorganic gas hydrogen sulfide. These are the same compounds that give farts their
odor.
Why is poop brown?
The color comes mainly from bilirubin, a pigment that arises from the breakdown of
red blood cells in the liver and bone marrow. The actual metabolic pathway of
bilirubin and its byproducts in the body is very complicated, so we will simply say
that a lot of it ends up in the intestine, where it is further modified by bacterial
action. But the color itself comes from iron. Iron in hemoglobin in red blood cells
gives blood its red color, and iron in the waste product bilirubin gives rise to its
brown color.
What is the cause of green poop?
I have consulted with a doctor, a physiologist and a microbiologist on this
question, and the following summarizes their answers:
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.
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).
