Stepmom had laxative powder polyethylene glycol 3350 kept in the fridge & i think she puts it in my food. stools been soft watery & green for months?

Trust issues . . .: Stools can be soft watery & green even w/o laxatives. If you're worried about stepmom putting laxatives in your food, you should chat w/dad about your concerns. Monitor your stool consistency after spending a weekend w/friends eating nothing from home that your stepmom could access. If stools return to baseline while eating away from home then get soft watery & green upon return home, then worry
