Its simple,
The kidneys serve two major functions:
they keep the salt content of the blood constant, and they filter waste out of the bloodstream.
So, the main components of urine are (salt) water and waste products. The major waste product from cells in the body is ammonia, and the major waste product from blood is a broken form of heme called bilirubin. In the liver, each of these is converted into a less hazardous form: ammonia is converted to urea, and bilirubin is degraded to urobilins. Salt, water, and urea are all colorless, but urobilins (which come from degraded pigments) are yellow.
So, if you drink a lot, your urine will be more dilute and clearer, and if you get dehydrated, your urine will contain less water and be darker yellow.

What can you take to make your bowels turn its normal color?
I assume you are talking about the color of your stool. Your intestines don't change color unless you eat lots of food with dyes in it. A healthy high fiber diet of whole foods and plenty of water should result in a healthy cardboard colored stool. A healthy stool is light brown most of the color coming from dead blood cells. If you have dark of black stool consistently it may be an intestinal problem, Yellow or green indicate other potential issues. If the stool is bright red it is most likely a hemorrhoid or anal fissure. Color can change based on what foods are eaten. I ate a piece of cake a while back with black frosting and thought I was dying the next day. A consistent stool that is dark/yellow/ or green should be discussed with a doctor.

Stool color for breast feed infant?
The colour can vary. At birth, the baby will pass meconium which is very dark in colour, but as the mother's milk comes in the stool will get lighter and eventually be yellow. If it is green there may be a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance, or the baby may have a virus.
