Re: Green poop for 2 months now??/Detoxing?

[Guest guest]

Cori:

My kids did this get this temporarily from time to time. Is he having

any other symptoms? I remember green poops being associated with milk

and bile. Not sure the details. I have not used all those products

you mention. Hopefully, someone here has and can lend their

experience, if they caused green poops or not. I think I remember

green poops being associated with metal-detoxing with my kids. Anyone

else see this?

I have NOT heard green stools associated with food

intolerances, particularly. I have heard it much more commonly

associated with rapid transit time (bile) and possibly bacterial

growth... did a little googling and found the following at

http://altmedicine.about.com/od/gettingdiagnosed/a/green_stools.htm

" The liver constantly a bright green fluid called bile that is

secreted into the small intestine or 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

When we were heavily detoxing viruses about 2 years ago we

consistently saw green poops over a 4-5 month period. My son was on

homeopathics and was on chlorella as well, and we were doing the epsom

salt baths. I think he was detoxing and we were working to bring his

sulphate into range. Anytime my son is battling viruses his need for

sulphur goes up.

You may want to up his sulphur and see if that makes a difference. We

also upped taurine later, and adequate taurine will make your poop

brown. The dose was between 1 and 3 gms and we split it into 2 x a

day. I have a seizures son however and he was supposed to be at the

upper end of that range.
