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.

Yes be concerned : Green stools could be blood  if it is more dark garden brownish 
safe a few diapers and consult your pediatrician.

Question 3

my 3 year old has bright green poop. should i be concerned if it lasts more than a few days?

Accepted Answer

Maybe.: Color change in stools can be the result of many things: diet, illnesses, and then the last category: who knows.  Sometimes a kid's stool changes color for a week or two then changes back, and the kid is just fine.  If your child has a fever or looks really uncomfortable, stomach pain, vomiting, etc. Then see your doctor.  Otherwise, it's not urgent and give it another week.

Question 4

my baby is 7 month old n her poop is green n she is on formula milk she don't have any other health issues i'm concerned about this?

Accepted Answer

: The color of poo is derived from the waste pigment  that end up in the bile, which is added to the intestines from the liver. It starts out an intense green, over time may change thru yellow to brown. The germs of the intestine convert the pigment as it transits the digestive tract. The less germ action the less color change.Loose stools are often a greenish color for this reason, diet matters.

Question 5

my stool has been a light blue/green for about a week now. and suddenly its hard for me to poop and my stomach feels bloated. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Yes, see a doctor: This does sound unusual enough to merit a visit to a doctor. Waiting more than a week is not likely to help. Hopefully, it is nothing serious - but if it is even minimal, you should find out what it is and what can help. Best!

Question 6

what could be a cause of neon green stool. i haven't ate anything remotely green. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Bile: It means something is irritating the liver or gallbladder or both.

Question 7

hi, i've had consistent green stool for awhile now and now i'm noticing dark spots in them. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Dark spots: The dark spots could be a sign of blood in the stool. I would recommend that you have your stools checked for blood. The green color is coming from the diet.

Question 8

hi i had a small amount of blood in my stool should i be concerned? its been green for the past two weeks and i've had to force myself to go

Accepted Answer

If it does persist: than you probably should be concerned but it most probably will not persist. This can happen when you are constipated and hard stool causes minor tears on the rectal mucosa. It could be hemorroidal bleeding too. The green color stool appears to be related to your diet or an artificial color inside the food or drink you have consumed.and not related to the fast transit time of the digested food.

Question 9

ive had green stool for the past two weeks. the other day i had to force myself to use the restroom and noticed a small amount of blood in it. i think that was due to me forcing myself to go. should i be concerned ?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: a small amount of blood in the stool is probably benign if it's hard and has to come out with force. In general, if you see blood anywhere from your body, it is good to know where it is coming from and why. This is more important the older you are. If it happens once or is small amount, it is worth seeing a doctor on a non-urgent basis to get a diagnosis. You will know then what to do if it recurs

Question 10

what causes green stool with bright green in it and should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Green stools: This could result from rapid transit of feces through the intestines, or from food colorings such as in liquorice., consuming iron-rich foods or iron supplements, or leafy green vegetables, taking laxatives, and if with other intestinal symptoms it can result from irritable bowel or intestinal infections. If no symptoms, no worries.
