Guest guest Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Okay, TMI, I know, but that's what y'all are here for, right? =) My poop has been varying degrees of looseness for a while now, but it's consistently had an orange tint to it. Not red, like blood, but orange. Hmm..Any ideas? Also, it's been kind of pasty whenever it's solid, and it takes quite a few wipes to clean my butt. I remember this being discusses a while back, but I can't really remember what was discussed about it. Thanks!

It can also be a sign of die off. Or it might be an effect of the iron pills, although that usually translates to dark color BMs. > > Also, it's been kind of pasty whenever it's solid, I believe that's an enzyme problem/not fully absorbing nutrition, but someone else may know better or more. > and it takes quite > a few wipes to clean my butt. There is a certain kind of wipes you can buy in the drugstore or costco (larger quantity, cheaper price) that helps with this. With aloe and or witch hazel. This is one of the side effects of iron pills, BTW. Mara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 In the beginning when I ate a lot of carrots, my BMs were orange colored. Not so much anymore when I go intro though. Never thought about that. My BMs are always sticky and take a lot of wiping. They were never like that before SCD though. My BMs pass way easier than before SCD, but I still get constipated a good bit. I have never taken iron pills.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 That's awesome. Too bad most of my BMs are in the late morning while I'm at work. I rarely have one at home. What I've learned to do is wet napkins before going into the stall and this helps tremendously. At home, the sink is right next to me. I'm def bookmarking this though!!!! Thanks!!!
