    Please help 🙁 I honestly don’t know what to do. I had green waffles on st. Patricks day but I doubt it would be affecting me now. I cant get a full shit out. Because it hurts too much. I have to try my hardest and it comes out green. I like cucumbers and pees but they have never done this. This week while it’s been green I’ve been completely out of it and tired. But if I tell my dad he wont do anything but give me fiber gummies. Which have not helped one bit. What do I do?!?!?!?!?!?!

    I’ve been having pain in my upper abdomen especially after I eat, also have pain in lower right abdomen that radiates to my back,I’ve recently started pooping green, It seems to be a once a month occurrence, what can it be? I’m tired of drs not being able to find anything

    That explains a lot. I’ve been having green stool for two days but each day, I have fruit loops for breakfast. I haven’t had them in a while and having them now have caused stomach aches and green stool. How odd.

    Years ago my son had green stool…off and on ..
    I monitored the food and snacks that the kids ate. They were not allowed to just eat snacks when they wanted without asking mainly because my oldest consumed a lot of sugar….it took a while but I finally realized that when he had too much sugar his stool was varied colors of green….otherwise no issue.
    A friend suggested a refrigerated brand of acidophilus. It worked… the was basically a cycle of the more sugar he ate the more his body craved..her son had a version of basic candida…

    I totally agree with previous writer EM….
    amazing how our systems work.
    My husband had to fast a little over a week…liquids only to solve an intestinal issue. thankful that the dr quickly saw the issue

  30. Danielle says:

    I ate fruit loops a lot lately and also cookies and root beer and now I poop a lot and its green. Hmm. Strange and painful…lots of gas in my intestines.

    I have had green Poop and have been about 5-6 times in the last 2 hours and it’s really started burning so much and I don’t know if it could be the bile that’s burning but I haven’t had any colouring or vegs lately

    Swiss cake rolls make me poop green, too!!

  33. Liehman says:

    I have had diarrhea with green color for two days..stomach cramping too. Normally my diet is healthy
    But not so much for the past 3 weeks. Also I. Normally drink bottled spring water since tap water gives me
    Horrible diarrea (even when in other cities traveling). I will bet when I go back to normal eating habits
    And go back to healthy drinking water this issue will resolve itself.

    My suggestion; if your loose or green stools last longer than 5 days go see your pcp first. If changes
    In your diet don’t resolve the issue he or she should refer you to a GI specialist.

  36. Mac says:

    My stools have been green for weeks and I haven’t eaten a lot of green veggies. Could it be the grape water flavoring I’ve been squirting in my water?

  43. Cynthia says:

    Pooping green is it normal when you become vegan?

  44. bob curran says:

    Ate a couple of slices of cake that had heavy food coloring apparently a couple of days ago. I have had two bowel movements and my feces is still green. No pain or blood or anything like that. I was just wondering if i should just wait it out for a couple more bowel movements and see what happens.

    Theraflu and generic theraflu will turn your poop green also.

    I could not figure out why my poop was green. A 4th of July party where I had cake with blue frosting, the food coloring, and ice pops, again the food coloring. Even though the frosting was blue, and the ice pops were red and yellow, the food coloring can cause your poop to turn green. Thanks to websites that explained all that, I am much more at ease!
