Due to some behind schedule work, my employer made this weekend mandatory. At my 9 am break, I had my usual cup of coffee and a baggie of cookies. My wife bought a bag of Mothers Red, White, and Blue animal crackers. There were about 2 dozen and about half were blue. Remember this for later.
At about 2 this afternoon, I felt the rumblings down below telling me to get to the restroom pronto. I suffer from irritable bowel syndrome and when my body says go, it means it. Being only 30 minutes before quitting time, I took my time and read some of the newspaper left in the stall. At about 2:20, I pulled off some TP and wiped for the first time. As I looked to make sure the TP landed in the toilet, I was horrified by what I saw. The water was a bright shade of flourescent green and the solid material was little darker green.
My first thought was what in the hell is wrong with me. The second thought was I wish I had my digital camera, it would have made a great submission to Ratemypoo.com. At the time I has no idea what could of caused the bright green poo. I hadn’t eaten anything green. Then it hit me, the blue cookies.
That is the third food that I know of that affects me like that. Red licorice and spinach do the same. This might be something to remember next time the doctor wants a stool sample.
Ditto on the black jelly beans (and other black licorice.) Not too unusual, I guess.
And DJIANAD*, but if you’re a Vulcan, fluorescent green poop probably indicates hemorrhoids or bleeding in the large intestine. Sticky, greenish-brown stool would indicate bleeding from further up in the alimentary canal.
Apparently a bottle of blue foodcolouring mixed in an Amaretto Sour will do the same thing.
One bottle of blue food colouring 1$
Sweet and Sour Mix 2$
Bottle of Amaretto 14$
Waking up to the sounds of a good friend screaming, “MY SHIT IS BLUE”
Priceless
A cousin of mine was convinced (when he was a young kid) that he was extremely ill, as his feces had turned green. Turns out it was due to the huge “Shamrock Shake” from McDonald’s that he’d consumed earlier in the day.
My husband has seen similar, but red-colored, results from chicken tandoori.
Though I suspect an equal amount of red and yellow food coloring would produce the same result, Uristat (an OTC medication designed to relieve the pain of - but not treat - a urinary tract infection) produces very bright, blaze orange colored urine.
Pepto-Bismol® makes your crap black. An excess of red wine can do the same. So can stomach bleeding, as someone else mentioned (depending on what part of your GI tract is bleeding).
Whenever I eat onion soup, it comes out bright yellow (and smelling like onions).
Really? It never has for me, or my SO, huh. Now, Iron suppliments, on the other hand, will definitly turn your doodie black. I am severely anemic, and many a time I have come away from the toilet thinking, “Damn it, I forgot to take my Iron suppliment yesterday”.
First, the words “tongue” and “feces” do not belong in the same sentence, with the exception of this one.
Secondly, a local chinese delivery place’s sweet and sour chicken produces a bright, nigh-arterial, red when run through my system. The first time of THAT was terrifying.
This didn’t occur to me earlier, when I posted to this thread, but my SO had a…uh…very…uh…interesting experience yesterday, that he shared with me(no, not literally, ya sickos!).
He had a momentary scare yesterday morning, after taking a crap, when he got up and looked in the toilet, he saw what looked like a toilet bowl full of bright red blood clots, mixed in with the “regular” stuff. After a few moments of panic, it dawned on him that what he was seeing was a result of the two pimento cheese sandwiches, and approximately 20 green olives that he had consumed as a midnight snack, only a few hours earlier.
