Have you started any new herbal remidies some of these can turn it green.

deleted_user 05/03/2009

Oh too funny! Sorry, but I had to get that out first!

In most cases it's what you ate the day before. Don't discount any artificially died drinks too. I knew someone who had a huge frozen smoothie that was bright blue. The next day he had turquoise deposits in the toilet! I wouldn't worry unless it keeps up for a period of time.

no new herbs/supps.

i think Shari is right. i did drink a blue gatorade yesterday, but i drank em before and i didn't have green poo before. (shrugs)

but if it keeps up, i guess i seek a GI doc. just the weirdest thing i seen...

I remember rushing my first son to the doctor's at 8 mos because he had green poo. The doctor laughed at me and asked me what he'd eaten. Green beans. Sheesh!

So, think back. What did you eat?

Also, it is my understanding that if food goes too quickly through the digestive system, it is green.

LMAO, sorry bluesun, but I had a similar experience last week. I had black poo and was starting to freak out til I researched it and realized that I took an extra iron suppliment. I wouldn't worry unless it goes on for too long

LOL....Geez Blue don't you ever experiment with food dyes?

Green beer....Yup....Green Poop!
Fruit Loops.....turquoise poop
Corn.... Corn-holio poop

LOL, I'm a freak of nature when it comes to what I leave in the throne. It's a celebration around here. When you go for a while where you colon just doesn't work....you learn to appreciate the little things in life.

And in honor of such a lovely post:
