Re: color of bowel movement

[Guest guest]

Green sometimes means bile-gall bladder. I'm not sure what to tell you, I know

that if mine are green looking that I have had too much fat, and my gall bladder

is acting up (extremely painful). So, Maybe it has to do with the enzymes?

color of bowel movement

Hi all,

For the past week and half my son has been complaining about tummy

aches. Some bowel movements are fine, others are not. Last night he

had a formed, sinking one but the color was white with green and

grays in it. He told me that it hurt his belly. Anyone else

experience this color? & What was suggested?

After last night, I will up his enzymes a bit to see if I can get

him 'back to normal'. Any additional suggestions????

Thanks

She goes at least once or twice a day but she had this big stool on Sunday

and I work on Saturday so I am not sure if she went on Saturday. He Dad is not

good about helping her wipe so she might have held it until I was hope to do

it too. Who know! Thanks for you help I will call the clinic and ask them about

it. Thanks Deb A

Deb,

Sometimes when you pass a stool that is very hard you open up a " fissure " or

tiny crack in the rectum. I would mention it to clinic because they can direct

you to a stool softener so she won't bleed. With such a large stool, I'd have

to ask how long since the one before it? when we were kids, My sis (no CF but

MAJOR consipation problems) used to only go once or twice a week and they were

HUGE. She now uses a stool softener like colace or peri-colace. It might help

but ask first.

Definitely call her CF doctor. My son has to take an Exlax every

night per the CF doc. He did better on Senokot but for some reason

they are having manufacturing problems and it is not available.

Ricky does really well on Miralax. I mix it in with his apple juice, and it

doesn't even taste like anything... And works great!

My guess is " yes " . I think that we were giving Abby too many enzymes

too. We cut her dose in half and she is still only have one solid

poop per day.
