Ohmygosh! When I first saw this site a few months ago, and being somewhat familiar with Cecil’s stuff, I sent in an inquiry about green poop after drinking copious amounts of grape soda. Got the typical e-mail response of “Cecil gets a lot of mail. Come up with something better and we might look at it.”
But its true. In college, my friends and I would prepare for St. Patty’s Day by getting a few cases of grape soda the week before. We’d be pooping green for days. Its really quite impressive. A completely normal, consistent loaf, just happens to be green. Wonderful stuff.
Sala, can’t you count?!? I said NO camels! That’s FIVE camels!
Okay, the purple stuff is probably what done it. Got new grape drink in the kitchen. Foul, foul stuff! But better than the tea. Tea doesn’t turn my feces brown.
Or does it?
I sold my soul to Satan for a dollar. I got it in the mail.
As a mother, I consider myself something of an expert on poop. My son’s output has been green many, many times. The most frequent offenders seem to be cake frosting and seaweed (he eats the stuff like potato chips). It’s probably nothing to worry about, esp. if it’s a one-poop thing.
Cute kid story - we bought the pan and frosting color set for his birthday cake last week and he announces to the whole store “Mommy is my poop going to be yellow like Pikachu this year?”
I remember, YEARS ago, hearing my little brother screaming in the bathroom. I ran to see what was wrong, and he was terrified, because his poop was green.
Remember how McDonald’s used to serve green “shamrock shakes” on St. Paddy’s day? Sure enough, he drank several! GReen food dye will do that to you!
Handy: well, it sure looked green to me, when it happened to me. ::: shrug :::
<<<hijack>>> BobT: re the blood-streaked boogers: I had this happen to me, too, and I was told that this is what happens when you are over-enthusiastic about blowing your nose and clearing it right out, when you rummage around in there with a finger and a kleenex. I was told, “just blow your nose, wipe off the outside, but don’t shove your finger up there, with or without a kleenex, because the mucous membranes up there are very delicate, and that’s how you get that bloody boogers.”
I was also told, “If you have a chronic stuffy nose, and it’s like the stuffiness is not up inside your head, but is kind of down like where your glasses rest on your nose, sometimes it’s because you’re rummaging around up there too much with your kleenex-covered finger when you blow your nose. The mucous membranes get irritated and swell up, so you think it’s clogged, and try to clear it out with a finger/kleenex, which of course only makes it worse…” He said, “Just leave your nose the heck alone for a couple of days–wipe your nostrils if you need to, but don’t put anything up inside there, and see if the stuffiness doesn’t get better.” And he was right.
So–end of “snot” hijack–back to “shit”.

Notthemama, its really very easy. Iron causes your body to make more blood cells, which are then turned into much more billyrubin, & makes the shit black.
