What Causes Bowel Movements To Be Only Brown In Color?
Yes: question is with all the different colors of solids and liquids that humans eat, why is it that our BM s always come out in a brown tone or color? Let s say all I eat is lettuce or carrots and I only drink milk. Why does my waste not come out the same color as what I eat?

Hi,
It is the formation of stool with the excretory waste products and added digestive enzymes with bile from the liver and expulsion via gall bladder makes the color of stool brown mainly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
