Re: green poop! (i have the answer!)

[Guest guest]

and the answer to any other poop question you could possibly have!

yes, it's true! i looked up " green poop " on lycos and this is what i found...

The Scoop on Poop - http://www.heptune.com/poop.html

p.s. i also got a lot of adult sites on the search. apparantly green poop is

" sexy " . bleck!

anyway, here's your answer

WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF GREEN POOP?

I have consulted with a doctor, a physiologist and a microbiologist on this

question, and the following summarizes their answers:

Healthy people can have green poop if they eat a diet rich in leafy green

vegetables, or if they consume large quantities of food coloring (in ice cream,

cake frosting etc.).

Green poop can also be caused by excess iron in the diet, from dietary

supplements, for example. If the body does not absorb all the iron consumed, the

iron may stain the poop green, the color of iron (II) salts. Ordinarily, the

green color may be masked by the normal brown poop color, but if digestion is

thrown off by illness so that bilirubin is less concentrated in the intestine,

the green color may become apparent. This can happen when a person is afflicted

with diarrhea.

Green poop in sick babies may come from iron in baby formula not being

properly absorbed, or by green pigments in bile salts (again, green from iron).
