Guest guest Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hi Stephie, were you complaining about the possibility of a gall bladder problem some time back? I don't think splitting your T3 dose is anything to do with this. The liver secretes a bright green fluid (bile) into the small intestine or it is stored in the gallbladder. Bile is needed to absorb fats and fat soluble vitamins. It also helps to soften stools and is responsible for giving stools their characteristic brown color. As bile makes its way through the intestines, it progressively changes color from green to yellow to brown, due to the action of bacteria in the large intestine on the bile salts. Green stool often indicates that food has passed through the intestines faster than normal (called decreased bowel transit time), before it could be changed from green to brown. Diarrhea decreases bowel transit time, so any condition that causes diarrhea can result in green stool. Other causes of green stool include: · Laxative use · Antibiotic use · Medication side effects · Food poisoning · Celiac disease · Ulcerative colitis · Crohn's disease · Malabsorption · Irritable bowel syndrome · Bacterial overgrowth · Infectious diarrhea - especially salmonella and giardia · Traveler's diarrhea · Cancer Foods and supplements that can cause green stool include: · Chlorophyll · Iron supplements · Algae Note: Speak with your doctor about any change in bowel movements. http://altmedicine.about.com/od/gettingdiagnosed/a/green_stools.htm Since splitting my T3 up from 3 times a day to 5 times a day and including a bedtime dose, my bowel movements have gone green....(co-incedence or related?) Just wondering if anybody has herd of this before or expierenced anything similar ? I have not eaten any green type foods, it could possibly to do with extra bile, but i have no dioreha but have been going for an extra BM a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiya Sheila thanks for the info, i have been doing a bit of research regarding the matter and also came accross (decreased bowel transit time) and was wondering if the added T3 bedtime dose along with more T3 in the afternoon could of increased my digestion too fast ? As far as im aware i have had no gallbladder problems in he past but i do have digestion/yeast problems so maybe the extra bile isnt all that bad of a thing.
