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.

      Gluten related ??

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
