Question 1

my poop is fuzzy and green should i be concerned ?

Accepted Answer

Stool Color: Stool color is not important unless there is no color at all or it is bloody.  Melena which is black sticky foul smelly stool signifies blood as well and is important. Otherwise green, brown, orange or shades thereof don't mean anything.

Question 2

why is my poop green and look fuzzy and my stomack is very bloated?

Accepted Answer

No worries...: Green stools do not symptoms of any known GI tract pathology.  Abdominal bloating is an extremely common symptom caused by a variety of factors.  I'd suggest:  taking a probiotic supplement along with a diet that is low in sugar and fat i.e. No fast food, fried food or highly processed foods.  No alcohol an get plenty of exercise and sleep.  If symptoms persist see a gastroenterologist.  Good luck.

Question 3

just stared accutane, 1st week no side effects, 2nd week diarrhea with lower stomach pains, 3rd week constipated with green fuzzy poo. what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Talk with your: prescribing doctor, who will probably want you to stop it. The GI symptoms you describe are not common with Accutane. Usually the side effects are more skin related: dryness, rash, itching, peeling, muscle or joint pains. Accutane has been linked to the development of inflammatory bowel disease such a Crohn's so I'm certain your doctor will want to know about your symptoms. Good wishes.

Question 4

why my poop is green?

Accepted Answer

Fast transit time: can do this ( IBD, celiac, food allergies ). A fast transit time (shorter than 10 hours) means food is passing through your system too quickly. Not enough time the bacterias in the large bowel to breakdown the bile and change the color from green to brown. The ideal bowel transit time is anywhere from 12 to 24 hours.  Also some green color vegetables , iron pills , color in the foods can do this.

Accepted Answer

Enteritis: Enteritis is inflammation of the bowel, often associated with abdominal pain, increased stooling, diarrhea, and occassionally fever.  This is most commonly cause by viral infections, but occassionally bacteria or parasites are the cause.  Prolonged diarrhea, bloody stools, joint pains, weight loss, rashes, yellowing of the skin or other unusual symptoms should be investigated by a physician.

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.
