Question 1

does green loose stools associate with giardia?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily.: An infection with giardia can present with diarrhea or constipation or neither.  Stool color is not a reliable way to determine the organism responsible, if any.  Only a test for parasites can do this, and it takes checking 3 stool samples, because the parasites may not be present in every stool. See your doctor and get tested.

Question 2

what's the dosage of econorm for adults? should it be taken before food or after food? i'm suffering from loose stools since wednesday. not taking any

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: The benefit, and the dose, and the effect of food, are all speculative. If you have persistent loose stools, swallowing some yeast is not likely to help. To correct the condition requires that you first define the cause. You will need professional help for that. Many episodes of loose stools are brief and self contained. If that occurs in your case, be grateful it is gone and do not experiment wit

Question 3

what commonly causes loose stools in adults?

Accepted Answer

Not always diarrhea: Stool texture (regardless of volume or frequency of movements) is defined by the bristol stool scale (bss), which ranges from 1 (hard, pellet stool) to 7 (loose, watery stool). Normal stool grades a 4 on the bss. On the other hand, "diarrhea" is defined by volume and stool frequency (typically more than 4-5 bowel movements/day). Tell your doctor as well about bleeding, fever, tenderness, & pain.

Question 4

green and loose stool? didn't eat anything with green dye! what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Green is bile: When your stool passes fast through the intestinal tract the green bile is the color you see in the stool, because the bile doesnt  have time to get reabsorbed and give the darker colored stool you are used to. Yellow colored diarrhea is seen in even faster traveling stools. The darker the color, the slower the transit and greater reabsorption of bile.

Question 5

i am 20 years old and recently started eating an all raw veggie diet . should i be worried if i have loose stool or see bits of greens in the toilet ?

Accepted Answer

Side effects: Mr. Green make sure you eat a balanced diet. Avoid nutritional  deficiencies particularly Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Selenium, Zinc, Iron, Omega -3-fatty acid 
 Make sure you are getting enough protein and calcium. All raw veggie diet needs nutritionist guidance for long term

Question 6

green loose stools, weight loss, just came back from south asia vacation ?

Accepted Answer

Need tests: This requires a doctor's visit to review your symptoms and, at a minimum, submit stool tests and possibly blood and urine tests. The most common causes of Traveler's Diarrhea are bacteria, but parasites including giardia are also relatively common. Don't just take Pepto-Bismal; go in so an accurate diagnosis can be made and you receive the correct treatment. Good wishes:)

Question 7

on vanc. now for c diff. 2nd day on it. still loose stools. how long till improvement with stool? also my stool is soft green look. wipe its yellow

Accepted Answer

C. Difficle: This is perfectly normal.  You need to be patient. This is a very hard infection to get control over.

Question 8

vomited all food, green loose stool, sulfur smell and dry heaving all night?

Accepted Answer

Gastroenteritis: Sounds like food poisoning/gastroenteritis.  Try to keep up with fluids (half Gatorade and half water) along with bland diet.  Most of these things get better on their own; however, if vomiting and diarrhea persistsyou will need to see your doctor for tests and/or IV fluids.

Question 9

am adult of 22 years.my lead level in blood is 43.15.suffering from loose stools n constipation. i want some diet tips to treat it naturally.

Accepted Answer

Need to treat: I am skeptical that your sky high lead levels will drop with "natural" approaches.  See your doctor and start recommended protocol, as risk to you too high to experiment with unproven approaches.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Unrelated: Probably unrelated and would evaluate each on their own merits.
