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.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated. So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.

      @trents thank you! I have only been taking 20mg 1x a day. Maybe I need to increase it.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
