Is it normal that blue food coloring does this to me?

I don't eat a lot of blue food coloring, but whenever I do, I have green bowel movements. It doesn't even have to be a ton of food coloring for this to happen. I can have a dish of blue ice cream, or a blue slushy, or even Crunchberries, and everything comes out green. It isn't even slightly green, it's a really bright green. Does this happen to anyone else?

    lmao... I've enver heard of this, but I can understand it.. Look up synthetic food dyes, or FD&C colours or similar, and learn about what is in them and possible reactions, it could help you out with understanding

    if i remember correctly from human anatomy ... i'm sure you know that our bodies cannot break down the chemicals that make up blue dye in food. so this dye combines with bilirubin (which is broken down old red blood cells) that your liver passes to your intestines. bilirubin is what gives your shit the yellow/brownish color. the yellow from the bilirubin combines with the blue dye to make the green poop.
