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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
