- poop that is colored red, black, green, yellow, or white.

What is considered abnormal poop?
Poop that is always very stinky and often floats. Unintentional weight loss. Red stools or black stools that cannot be explained by your diet. These poop colors may signal that you have bleeding in your digestive system, something that can be a symptom of a more serious condition.
