Green Stool

Recommended Posts

yesterday and today I had stool the colour of the outside of a pre ripe lime. it was pretty bright, no brown, normal consistancy..not runny at all

I read around the net and it said that it means the bile used to digest fats is normall mixed in b ut the whole stool moved way to fast thru the bowel because nothing absorbed therefore the bile could never get absorbed either and therefore green poop. Today it is the same..

I have not eaten anything outta the ordinary except I started to eat flax bread, maybe in the past 2 weeks i have had 6 slices.

I know that your intestines get scarred and makes it hard to ingest nutrients but this bad it wont absorb anything is scary.

once in a while I have very dark stool, almost black, once before it has been white...

anyone have any thoughts?

Black stool can be a sign of blood, so you may want to see your doctor. Are you experiencing any pain or constipation?

The green stool is most likely caused by the malabsorption/maldigestion of fats. I would not be too worried about the green stool, just cut back on fats for a while and reintroduce them once you have healed.

Are you taking any antacids? Those can turn your stool white. If not, I would say the white/pale stool is caused by lack of secretion of bile from the liver.

Have you thought about taking some digestive enzymes? I'm beginning to think if you're stool is white and pale you are lacking certain enzymes to break down food. It is very common and I myself actually take an occasional digestive enzyme supplement if I feel fatigued after a meal.

      No they did not run a total IGA. But wouldn’t the DPG-IGA also be negative also if I was IGA deficient? They did also run a TTG-IGG and a DPG-IGG and they were also negative.

      The DGP-IGA is valuable when celiac is suspected but the person being tested is IGA deficient. Were you tested for IGA deficiency. In other words, was there a test known as "Total IGA" ordered? Here is an overview of the various blood tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease:

      Has anyone ever negative blood work except for the DPG-IGA? Mine was 42 (reference range negative is >20. The TTG iga was negative. I have always suffered from bad gas issues and lately have been having bouts of diarrhea and constipation. I also have a bumpy rash that comes and goes below both elbows. i have an endoscopy scheduled in May but I was just wondering if anyone else had bloodwork like this and what was the end result?

      Welcome to he forum community, @DjinnDjab! You wrote: "i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships." Are you saying that the need to eat gluten free has resulted in losing all your friends and your entire social life?

      i am a 37 yo male and this describes me perfectly. on a scale of 1-10, i am at 8. 9. 10, 11 for 8-12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. this has been going on for about 5 years and i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships so i spend a lot of time with myself. and uhhh what really sucks is uhh, sorry to say, "enjoying myself" is a trigger for this pain. i can be fine all day until i take 5 mins to "myself" and then its all downhill from there. this has robbed me of every.single.thing in my once colorful life.
