Warning- Bodily Function Subject

Hi Everyone,
Since the surgery (3/30/09), my BM has been spinach green. What's up with that? Is this temporary?

It's temporary girl it goes away. I had that in the beginning as well. I think it is a way of your body getting rid of all of the toxins in your body (i think don't quote me on that).

"The liver constantly secretes a bright green fluid called bile into the small intestine or it is stored in the gallbladder.

Bile is needed to absorb fats and fat soluble vitamins. It also helps to soften stools and is responsible for giving stools their characteristic brown color.

As bile makes its way through the intestines, it progressively changes color from green to yellow to brown, due to the action of bacteria in the large intestine on the bile salts.

Green stool often indicates that food has passed through the intestines faster than normal (called decreased bowel transit time), before it could be changed from green to brown."
