Question:
Sorry to be so graphic, but is anyone's poop green?
I've read about light colored stools, but how about a really lovely deep green? I feel fine, was just wondering if some of you experts know why I'm the green queen. Thanks in advance. — Lisa S. (posted on March 19, 2003)

Lisa,
You are too too cute !, Yep same color here, a little more graphic, mine
seems to be like the consistancy of like molding clay, same color though. I
wish I knew why. Maybe due to the fact that we're eating healthier (Low
Fat).. That could be the answer. Hoping others out there post as well. Not
a gross question ! A cute one !

I'm pre-op, BUT I noticed this lovely color occuring just after I started
taking DR prescribed Iron tablets.There is probably iron in your vitamins!
Hope this helps :)

Drinking SF KoolAid (or similar)? I've noticed similar results when I
drink a lot (and I ofted drink a lot). I think it is the digested result
of red food coloring. Thanks for listening

I am, however I think it has something to do with the emrald green bagels
we had at our office for St. Patty's day.

Someone asked my surgeon this question in a support group meeting. He said
the green is bile. Bile is a fat-digesting substance that is secreted in
the first part of the small intestine. It starts out as bright green in
color. I'm not sure why it happens after surgery, but maybe it has
something to do with the re-plumbing of the small intestine.

The Green is from excess Iron. It's normal.

When I was around 7 years old I came out of the bathroom crying as I
thought I was dying. They asked why. I said "I am spoiling
inside". (You know things often turn green when that happens). I said
my poop was all green. They said, "did'nt you just eat a piece of
blueberry pie?". I had, lol. I never eat blueberry pie but what I
remember that. Anyway it is possible you ate something that did it. If it
lasts consult your doc! ;)

Are you taking iron? Iron can turn your poop green too!
