Family practice : It's probably not related to teething.  But is probably related to diet change. The rash and change can be easily treated by your dr.

Question 2

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.

Question 3

what does it mean if my baby has green poop?

Accepted Answer

Stool color: Infant stools can vary quite a bit in color, from brown, yellow, green, orange. All are okay if the baby is otherwise fine and feeding well.  Stool should be loose, soft or "seedy". Green stool is not necessarily a reason to be concerned.

Question 4

what does green poop mean with my 2 year old?

Accepted Answer

Normal variation: The main agent adding color to the poo is the material made by the liver called bile. It starts out a dark green and goes thru the yellows to brown depending on the influences of various factors in the intestines. Rapid transit thru the system, as may occur with diarrhea or breast feeding may have a greenish yellow or yellow appearance. The slower, more likely browner.

What you ate: Green colored stool is normal (from bile) but neon green is from a food coloring of some sort (for example lime kool-aide used during a colonoscopy prep).

Question 6

my 10 year old os having hard green poop. is it normal?

See A Physician: Truly green stool can be normal, depending on diet, but it can also be a sign of an issue with your GI tract.  You may want to consider seeing the pediatrician or a specialist, especially if there are other symptoms.

Question 7

baby had green poop during birthing and after. what is that?

Accepted Answer

Meconium: If baby aspirated meconium, the doctor will observe for respiratory distress. If your baby is sick then it is likely your baby will be observed or admitted to nicu. If your baby is ok, then as your baby takes in breastmilk the stool color and consistency will change to be yellow seedy and mustard like.

4 month old green poop with black specks. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Iron: Could be due to iron in either the formula or cereal thea you child is eating.

Question 9

what does it mean when you have bright green poop mixed in with blood?

Accepted Answer

Blood not normal: Bloody stools are not normal and should be evaluated by your doctor.  Bright green poop may be caused by infection, excessive bilirubin, diet, or dyes in food.  My son worried me when he had the most beautiful sea-foam green poop as a baby.  We found out it was from his cousin's popcorn in the school colors-- blue and yellow.  Regardless, you should see your doctor for an evaluation of the blood.
