What Is This??? Posted: 09-20-07 23:59pm
Hi!
As of last night (Tuesday 9/19) I was
feeling pretty crappy. I kind of freaked
out cause I had a green stool- lots of
green, little bit of nausea, and today
diarrhea (sp.) As of last night my stomach
has been growling constantly. I never
threw up, nor have a fever--just these two
things--stomach growling and diarrhea. As
of today, I did not have a green stool,
but had to go the bathroom like every so
many hours.
Could this be something I ate? All I had
yesterday to eat was a chicken caesar wrap
for lunch, loaded potatoes ( with
cheese,bacon bits, chives, sourcream mixed
in),and something else last night (can't
remember)
You would think if it was something I ate
it would've been out of mysystem alreday
by now. My Mom thinks it's a virus or
stomach bug.....it's not so much
worrisome, but more bothersome ,esp. with
the stomach growling constantly. I mean I
am worried, but also annoyed
Any answers would be greatly apprecaited
as to what people may think it is....

Did you eat anything that might have
contained preservatives?
My stools turn green-ish after I eat lots
of spinach, BTW.
How are you feeling now?

Green stool is usually caused when your
stool goes thru your digestive tract
fairly quickly. It's colored by bile,
which is secreted by your liver.
When it goes thru you normally the bile
turns brown as the digestive process works
on what you've eaten. But when it passes
thru too quick, it doesn't have the
opportunity to do this, hence the green
color.
