A Real Dirty Question...

Our son MIGHT have gotten gluten a few days ago, we do not think so, but we found some one elses food in his bag. The teacher was sure he did not eat it, it was merely placed there after lunch by mistake (first day aback in pre-school... all new teachers/assitants to train! yay! fun!)

Well this is day three when the running stools should be an issue if he got gluten, and dirty diapers are mostly normal. He ahs been acting a bit sick, and his stool is GREEN.

Does that me he has a cold or somthing? Not sure what green stools would mean?

Green poop has to do with WHAT you eat. (I googled this a while ago as it was quite a disconcerting suprise!) As far as I understand, it's not a bad thing. For example, drinking lots of Kool-Aid will turn your poop green. I think it has to do with the chemical make up of certain types of food.

I don't remember what types of food are guilty of this other than the whole KoolAid thing, because I will probably never forget about reading of a lovely college dorm experiment. :blink:

(seriously. just google green stool!)

We have been dealing with this at our house as well. I am not really sure what green poop means, but my son had it yesterday and it was actually quite runny too. It was seriously the color of really green grass. Maybe he ate some?? <_<

His nose been running , some coughing, and he has been unusally tried in addtion to the green stools so duno if that matters. His stools are much more "normal" now that he has been gluten-free for long awhile (in toddler time at least LOL) but never been quite right, but normally not green at least. heh

I do think that it was something that he ate that was green. If I drink some V-8, the next day I will have red poop, and if I have beets for dinner, whoa, you would think that I would call a doctor. I think not to worry until he has celiac issues Perhaps yes, green kool-aid.

This happened to me awhile ago and I was a little concerned. :blink: I googled "green poop" and everything came back food/food color related. The culprit for me were blue corn tortilla chips.

Yes, and you don't have to eat something green to get it. Some foods with red food coloring, for instance, can cause it. Even beets have that effect on me.

Grape Koolaid does it to my kids every time. Blue (from the koolaid) + yellow (-ish-brown) = green

My daughter usually had green poop whenever a blue food was eaten - whether yogurt, kool-aid, etc.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
