Green D

[Daunting]

Sorry. I know this is a little embarrassing but any of you have green D. For the past year I have had green diarrhea all the time. Just curious to know if this normal of not.

Thanks.

Yes I have. Many shades of green actually. I think its just passing through so quickly and bile acid is coming out. Could be wrong tho. But this is normal for me oddly as it is!

That's what I've read as well that its bile coming out. Here's a link on it: http://altmedicine.about.com/od/gettingdiagnosed/a/green_stools.htm

I think that's something you might experience if you're taking iron supplements too.

True but that's usually a darker green color.

You might want to get checked for C. diff. When I had "bile" diarrhea that's what was causing it. Do you have inflammation of your terminal ileum? That's where bile is reabsorbed. There is another condition that causes your body to pump out more bile than it is supposed to as well... I can't remember what it was called but it is treatable. You may want to mention this symptom to your doc to see if something can be done about it. This is assuming it is bile making it green anyway. But no, it's not "normal," it's not too uncommon among our kind, however. Hehe.

dd gets green, especially as her flare is getting under control. She had 40,000 c diff tests and was treated twice for c diff...that she didn't have (OK, MAYBE I'm exaggerating JUST a bit...but at LEAST 12)

Hi all.

I have been checked for everything from C diff to Hyplor. The doctor has put me on Flagyl and Cipro to make sure the tests didnt show a false negative.
My family doctor has prescribed limotil and I am trying that out right now, just took my first pill.
Lets hope that helps for a while until they can figure out what is really wrong with me.

I had that when i was sick with Salmonella but one year is a long time might pay to take a stool sample to the doctor to get it tested for anything

Done the stool samples before and did it again this week . Waiting for results from my family doctor.
I've done so many tests and I am so at a lost.
