Too Much Information, I know, but......

I have been having a strange experience - green stools!  And I mean bright green.  It happened once already some months ago - just once.  The doctor said it was probably an infection and the body corrected itself.  Now earlier this week, about four or more times I had these bright green stools.  If it wasn't fecal matter, I would have said they were pretty!  There wasn't any diarrhea, just normal stools. Then it just stopped.
BTW, now that I am hardly doing Number One, Number Two seems have have taken over!

I googled 'green stools' and got a lot of possibilities, some a bit scary!

I know this isn't really funny, but, it kind of is!

Let us know what you find out.

Green Stool

A green stool can usually be attributed to something you have ingested.

The most obvious is green foods that you have eaten, such as green leafy vegetables, or foods with a lot of dark purple or green food coloring like Kool-Aid or gelatin. It can also be caused by vitamins that contain chlorophyll. These may not appear green, but the chlorophyll in them will turn stool a green color.

Food and medicine are not the only reasons for green stool; again a fast transit time can cause a stool to turn green. If your stool is passing too rapidly through your intestines, it does not allow bile to break it down. Before being broken down by bile, stool is green. It is the bile that actually turns stools brown in color.

People can have green bowel movements because of an over consumption of iron. The body won't be able to absorb all the iron, so it will excrete iron salts. Iron is found in enriched breakfast cereals, red meat, beans, spinach, baby formula, and supplements.
