Re: what causes green tinge to stool

[Guest guest]

You said that the dish was new to him- what new ingredients were in it? Did you

introduce more than one new vegetable or spice? It sounds to me like his

reaction was to the lasagna, but it's hard to know exactly what since there are

so many ingredients in the recipe?

Everyone is different, of course, so we can't know for sure whether this is way

too many

at this point and he is eating something that does not agree or he has only been

on the

diet 1 month, though in many/most cases it is the latter.

How many did he start with?

Moreover, when you joined you were worried that your doctor was going to

prescribe surgery - but no doctor in his right mind is going to prescribe

surgery with 4 -6 BMs a day - if he did, you'd have excellent grounds for

malpractice. So there is obviously been some major improvements.

But improvements can be very slow. It's not like western medicine, where

a patient is given a magic pill and heals right away. This is clearing the gut

and trying to get the body to heal itself because you are minimizing the amount

of gut inflammation and creating healthier conditions for the gut. It's natural

healing and it is not always linear but can be cyclical with forward progress

and

some reverses.

If you introduce new foods, it can always change the coloration of the stool.

This

is why we generally try to limit to 1 at a time, because it makes it easier to

see if

the veggie is tolerated. Change in coloration is no big deal, unless it

persists.

Try to concentrate for a while on the relief

of secondary symptoms that might have cleared up.
