Question 7

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 8

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 9

is green diarrhea bad?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: The only color of diarrhea that is usually concerning is black or maroon/red (blood). Prompt medical attention would then be needed.  Green diarrhea is quite common .  If the diarrhea continues see your doctor.

Question 10

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.
