what causes green poop in a 3yr old?

Accepted Answer

Normal: The stool color is provided by the bile from the liver that is adds to fecal debris.It starts out a deep green & slowly changes thru greens to yellows to browns as the germs in the intestines metabolize the bile.Green generally means the stool in question moved through faster or was subject to less change by gut germs.

Question 3

how are green poop and nausea related?

Accepted Answer

One cause of green: Feces is stool that has transmitted too quickly through the GI tract. If an illness is causing this symptom - it may also cause nausea.

Question 4

is green poop and nausea an emergency?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily.: Green stool (especially if softer or looser) along with nausea could simply be a viral gastroenteritis or food-borne illness, either of which would resolve in a few days without any intervention.  But if this lasts more than one week in total, you may want to seek local medical attention.  And drink fluids while sick.

Question 5

is green poop normal for a breastfed baby?

Accepted Answer

Green poop: Yes it is normal, and of no concern.

Question 6

is green poop normal after galbladder surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, briefly: Bile contains bilirubin, which is normally golden in color.  In the intestine, most of bilirubin is converted to stercobilin which is responsible for the brown color of human feces.  Certain bacterial enzymes convert bilirubin to biliverdin, which is green.  After gallbladder (or other gi) surgery, changes in the balance of bile, bacteria and GI motility can result in transient color changes.

Question 7

is it okay to be pooping green poop when pregnant?

Accepted Answer

It is ok: The stool can go through color changes on a daily basis, mainly dependent on the foods that you eat.  If the stool color is consistently an abnormal color, independent of your diet, then follow with a doctor for further evaluation.  It could be the sign of a malabsorption issue.

Question 9

hi my 4 year old son just had bright green poop with a lot of blood on it im scared ?

Accepted Answer

On or in ?: The color of stool, from green through yellows and browns is unimportant. If the blood is bright red, it comes from near the outlet and usually represents a scratch in the outlet. Bulky or hard stools often cause this. If it is darker red or purple and mixed within the stool it may represent an infectious process. Check with his doc.
