Question 2

i am having runny diarrhea and the color is dark green, also i ate a blueberry muffin today can that be the cause of it?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: If the muffin was bad or contaminated, it could be. However, it depends on what else you ate and if anyone else who ate the same things also got sick. Usually these infections resolve within 1-2 days. If not, see your doctor for an exam and possible stool test.

Question 5

hi i just had green diarrhea tonight i don't have a fever what do i have and how can i cure this is it something i ate or am i sick.?

Accepted Answer

Green diarrhea: Is not necessarily bad. Green indicates that foods have traveled quickly through your GI tract. Manage the diarrhea with fluids containing electrolytes. If you are unable to keep up with fluids by mouth, you may need an IV, this would be to treat dehydration. Blood in your stool would be more worrisome. All the best and be seen if you are not better.

Question 6

not much of appetite lately. yesterday felt very full/bloated w/ some pain after half a bison burger. today i have forest green diarrhea. just normal?

Accepted Answer

Diarrhea: There are many potential causes for this, but would not become concerned unless it becomes persistent. If this was related to something you ate it should clear up in 3-4 days. If not, you might want to get seen.

Question 7

why is my diarrhea green?

Accepted Answer

Because of : Rapid time through the GI  tract.

Question 8

what causes green diarrhea in adults?

Accepted Answer

Bile: Bile secreted by the liver and reabsorbed in intestine to be recycled through the liver is the chief contributing factor to green color of stool. Having no gallbladder, the storage bag for bile between meals can result in yellow-green bile salt diarrhea in some individuals. Rapid transit of stool through the intestines during diarrheal illness  can result in green stools. Some foods & dyes cause.

Question 9

what does it mean if my baby has green diarrhea?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: The color of diarrhea is not important-- unless it's red with blood. Green means the gut is moving quickly, and you're seeing green bile. But that really doesn't mean anything special.

Question 10

i have green watery diarrhea. it's been like this for two days, what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Virus: Most of the time diarrhea is from a virus. If it goes on for more then 3 days the possibility of a bacterial cause like e-coli or salmonella goes up. That is when it is recommended to get stool studies. So if your symptoms continue until tomorrow then go to your pcp. If you are very ill or dehydrated then go the er.
