wtf? What causes green stool?

[zixxer]

I googled this and came up with that food is not completely digesting... but why? I haven't been eating anything wierd... I have been working out more often though

 

[Balt]

Too much Budweiser, in my experience.

 

[Kadarin]

I would guess that almost any sort of stress on the body could do it.

 

Slow down on the back door sex.

actually... over the past couple day's i've eaten a bag of black licorice...

It's when bile gets mixed with stool, since it wasn't fully processed by the digestive system. It's not a big deal...usually.

This happens to me under two conditions:

1) Too much blue flavored slurpee from 7-11.
2.) A dose of Pepto-Bismo.

 

[Yax]

Alot of green leafy veggies would do it too. If thats not the case, something's very wrong.

 

[PricklyPete]

It happens to me whenever I have Fierce Grape Gatorade in the fridge...

hahahahaha... no sh!t?!

I bet that's what it is. Seriously. It may be black, but the pigment is actually green, at least with the ice cream.. I bet if you took a couple of pieces and let them dissolve in a glass of water.. it would be a green tint.

I ate a huge 3-scoop black licorice ice cream cone once, and lemme tell ya.. I never saw toilet water so green... lol

Guacomoli Doritoes.

I ate a whole dish of some sort of stalk-type vegetable... Very stringy. My feces was stained green from all of it. Apparently, it wasn't a very energy-efficient veggie.

Froot Loops do that to my kids. Bright hysterical grass green is not a good color to see coming from any orafice in a kid. Freaked me out.

Grape soda is a common culprit.

I get green crap whenever I eat Cap'N'Crunsh Berries cereal. I think the combination of colors mixes into a green tint. Thus green shiet.
