Green Poop

Nasty subject.....sorry.

Right now because of other digestive disorders on top of the celiac, I have been on GAPS diet for 11 weeks. I haven't been able to digest carbs other than carrot and garlic juices, but can eat chicken, lamb the broth and oils like nuts, cod liver oil, etc... Am on my first week of a little kraut juice, about 4 tsp. throughout the day.

The last 3 days my poop has turned bright green and I was wondering if this was a good thing or not. Hate running to the doctor for every little thing.

Thanks!!

Is it with Diarrhea? If so you could Salmonella - can cause greenish stool (usually diarrhea)

# Giardia - can cause greenish stool (usually diarrhea)

I thought I read that green means it ran through the large intestine faster than normal. Dr. Oz has a Poop Primer on his website.

My complete diet for the last weeks is listed on my original post. That's why I was stumped.

No, it's actually severe constipation.

When our dd was a baby baby she had bright green (like shamrock green! very startling) poop in her diaper for a few weeks. At that time the ped told us it just meant her food was going through her system faster than normal, and not to worry. This was also the ped her told us she was just "colicky" and had a "temperament" the whole time she was reacting to gluten in breastmilk for two years before her celiac diagnosis, so take that for whatever it's worth!?

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Celiacsugh · Posted

      Hi! Yes I have, endoscopy didn’t show anything other than celiacs. I’ve been wondering if it’s possibly that my intestines are so damaged that the wine is irritating because they have not fully healed. Very odd, I felt better for a few weeks and then all the sudden started noticing the pain again after the weekends when I drink wine (don’t drink during the week). I’ve also heard that dull left side pain isn’t a common symptom with celiacs so my diagnosis was surprising to doctor as well though the pain did initially subside with gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the forum, @Celiacsugh! Have you been checked for a gastric or peptic ulcer?

      Symptoms after ingesting gluten

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Juliana82, Is the bleeding occurring when you throw up?  Or with bowel movements?  Constipation?  Is it bright red or black and tarry?  Anal fissures?  Crohn's or Colitis?  Alcohol consumption?   Diabetes, Thiamine deficiency and anemia can cause false negatives.  Most diabetics are deficient in Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency can also occur due to high calorie malnutrition, eating lots of carbohydrates but insufficient Thiamine from dietary sources.   The Gluten-Free Diet for Celiac Disease: Critical Insights to Better Understand Clinical Outcomes https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10537989/

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Celiacsugh · Posted

      Hi There! Recently diagnosed, have been gluten-free for 3 months. My main symptom at time of diagnosis was upper left dull side pain, burning, constant. After going gluten free it has improved dramatically, however I’ve noticed when I drink wine on the weekends the pain returns. Has anyone else experienced this?

      Question on if i can contact my gastro doctor whenever?

      In the US you don't need a referal to see a specialist if you are self pay. PPO you can go directly to any specialist or doctor you prefer. HMO you’ll choose a primary doctor to manage all your care. Pricing of the insurance will vary, as will prescriptions coverage.
