Author Topic: why is your stuff green sometimes  (Read 2450 times)

tell me I'm not the only one this happens to please

I just shat out a green turd (for the uninitiated it's supposed to be brown)

why does it turn green? I heard it might have to do with medications, but I'm not taking any right now

(this isn't an emergency btw I'm just curious)

It happens to me too after eating stuff with icing on it. Especially blue icing. I think its caused by dyes in the food or something.

Green like pine trees is normal. It's substances that give a green or blue color to an item be it frosting or a vegetable. Iron-rich vegetables are exent from this (broccoli, for example). If it's lime green then you ate a bar of enriched uranium.

Quote from: google
When the poop goes through the intestines too fast, it has no time to turn brown, so it comes out green. My doctor has assured me that I shouldn't worry about this. Also, poop can be green due to eating a lot of green leafy vegetables. Iron supplements can also make your poop green.

I sure hope that was from yahoo answers because I'd seriously need to doubt my textbooks' sources if not.

This has to do with bile made by the liver. Basically when ur low on bile, your poop doesnt become brown

that... uh... shouldn't happen


I have never shat a green turd. It is not normal to stuff green turds

that... uh... happens often
not for me

I don't eat veggies which makes it even weirder

So long as your fecal matter isn't a really dark color or black, you're healthy.

I never crapped out green but I don't know about its healthiness.

only happens with blue icing for me
