Question 1

hi my 4 year old son just had bright green poop with a lot of blood on it im scared ?

Accepted Answer

On or in ?: The color of stool, from green through yellows and browns is unimportant. If the blood is bright red, it comes from near the outlet and usually represents a scratch in the outlet. Bulky or hard stools often cause this. If it is darker red or purple and mixed within the stool it may represent an infectious process. Check with his doc.

Question 2

is it normal for a four year old stool to always be light brown? i dont know the difference between pale and normal light brown. but his is light to me. he never has dark brown poop. im afraid it would be considered pale. sometimes its looser?

Accepted Answer

: What you described is not a cause for concern, as long as the child doing things a four-year-old does and is gaining wright normally.
Make sure that the child gets childhood vaccinations.

Question 3

can you tell me how i could stop my four year old stepson from pooping his pants?

Accepted Answer

Time for consult: I would have him seen by his PCP and evaluated for chronic constipation/stool retention. If your PCP is unfamiliar with the issue, contact a pediatric Gastroenterologist or developmental pediatrician.The various problems that lead up to this symptom are complex, and often take months and years to resolve with proper help.

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.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

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 6

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 7

what causes green poop in 2 year old toddler stress?

Accepted Answer

Pooh color...: Pooh comes in many colors depending on age and diet.  Green is not a problem. The color can change based on the child's diet.  Bright red or dark red/black pooh would be of concern as this is a sign of milk allergy. Iron can change the color of pooh to black which is not a problem.  As the child is well green is no problem.  It is not related to stress as long as there is no diarrhea stomach pain.

Question 8

i have a 1 year old son that has a lot of gas and stomach cramps and he pooped green poop for 4 days, what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

Diet: Consider getting him off dairy and adding probiotics.
If it continues, then please see your pediatrician and discuss it with him/her.

Question 9

bright lime green poop? my 2 year old son has been having bright lime green poop it don't even look like poop i have never seen any kids poop like this it has been going on for 3 to 4 months now i take him to to the hospital because he runs fever for no r

Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. I canâ€™t diagnose the reason for your sonâ€™s bright lime green poop. However any thing which causes the feces to transit his system too quickly could cause it to turn green.  Bile is yellowish green and it digests fat. As the bile goes through the gut, it turns from green to brown from enzyme action. If it goes through the colon too quickly, there isnâ€™t time for that to occur and the feces are green. Additionally, the fast transit time prevents fluids from being properly reabsorbed through the colon and so the feces is usually loose or liquid as well.  Here is a list of possible causes for green feces to peruse: malabsorption, overgrowth of the wrong types of bacteria in the gut (sometimes caused by antibiotics), medication side effects, celiac disease crohnâ€™s disease and iron supplements.  Of course anything with green food coloring can be a cause. This is just a small sampling of possible causes. Good luck with this. Take care.
