Question 1

can garcinia cambogia cause green stool and is it safe to take with lamictal and abilify (aripiprazole)?

Accepted Answer

Garcinia Cambogia: called the "Holy Grail" of "natural" weight loss supplements does not cause green stools but CAN CAUSE DIARRHEA.
It's "safe" to take with Lamictal and Abilify (aripiprazole) but the question you should be asking is if its effective!!!!!

The scientific evidence is lacking!
Hope this helps!
Happy New Year

Question 2

will using green coffee bean extract and garcinia cambogia cause bowel movements?

Accepted Answer

Don't use it: Garcinia cambogia is in most weight loss supplements, and can cause liver failure.It was also used in Hydroxycut which was taken off the market as people died from using it.  I see a handful of patients per month with abnormal liver tests after using this medicine. I would NOT recommend it. There is no "magic pill" for weight loss. Diet and exercise remain the #1 way to lose weight and keep it off

Question 3

what?couls cause?my stool to be dark green?
