Blue poop????

[alybaly402]

Hi!
I'm an 19 year old with ibs and GERD (with a hiatal hernia). Today my poop has been blue all day! This is the 4th time its ever happend to be. The first 2 times is happend I had eaten a ton of food containing blue dye (so I guess I makes sense) the third time came and went quickly. Bu this time I don't remember eating anything blue! I've been eating a ton if TRIX cereal. Could that do it?
I would appreciate some answers.
Thank you.

Alex. :yfrown:

Thanks- but TRIX cereal doesn't have Marshmellows.

I'd wager it's the cereal. Keep in mind, you don't necessarily have to have eaten something blue to have blue poo - food coloring can sometimes change colors a bit as it passes through, or at least that's my experience. I recently ate a few cupcakes that had blue frosting. Then shortly afterwards I was experiencing green poo - like, St. Patrick's Day green. It took me awhile to figure out that the cupcakes were the culprit because they were so blue and my poo was so green! (I also had a salad the same day as I had the cupcakes, so I was thinking at first that it must have been the salad.)

Trix is full of colors though and cats right our bodies change the colors a lot.
