Question 3

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: These symptoms can only be adequately diagnosed only after a thorough evaluation by your doctor.  This may include labs and other studies.  Once all of the information is in, your doctor can let you know what's going on, and what to do to help you.

Question 4

what can cause blue stool? my son is 23 months old the only thing  out of the normal foods was a cupcake with sprinkles yesterday. thanks

Accepted Answer

Food Dyes: The color is due to the breakdown of food dyes - either from the icing on the cupcake or the sprinkles. It should pass in another day. Personally have seen some funky stool color after patients have eaten birthday cake!. Only stool colors to be worried about are red, tarry black or very white.

Question 5

is it possible that blue food coloring would cause green vomit?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: This is very likely.  Yellowish / greenish bile + blue dye=green.

Question 6

what would cause my spittal and tongue to turn light sky blue?  brushed w/toothpaste, went away, has not returned. 2 hours ago. not food. not hairy.

Accepted Answer

Pigmented liquid: Sometimes a chemical reaction happens from something you ingested or swallowed  with something already in your mouth. The fact that it want away with physical brushing tells that it was superficial and extrinsic, not from within.

Question 8

Expired lemonade: It if likely by vomiting you removed most of any toxins that may cause food toxicity. Watch for other symptoms such as further vomiting and diarrhea. Stay well hydrated. All the best.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Change in stool : Color with symptoms is usually benign. However with history of Crohns, you may have stool cytology done to consider exacerbation

Question 10

i have not given any bright blue food to my 1yr old so what may cause him to have  bm  that color plus he has also been vomiting and with minor fever?

Accepted Answer

Gatroenteritis: Uncommon color for stools. The reasons vary but most related to consumption of something earlier to the bowel movement. Unfortunately though, there are also certain diseases that could be responsible for a bluish green color.  Acute gastroenteritis is usually viral and occurs in children with some frequency until the age of about 5.  If your 1 year old continues w fever, see a pediatrician.
