Ouch. And GREEN?!!!

Hi

This might be a bit random but I'm in a bit of a pickle tonight. Had an OK-ish day... bit feverish but nothing major. A powerade seemed to sort me out in the afternoon and I was able to work a little (supervisors hassling me).

Made some pasta for dinner and then a little later I had scrambled egg.

BM wise it was the usual really - D when at the loo, but nothing like the excruciating pain of tonight. And, aside from the perpetual burning sensation and pressure on my abdomen my poop was this awful green mucousy stuff.

Ick... that can't be normal. A bit worrying because it was bright green.

Any ideas?

I'm so fed up of this right now.

Hi, no it was the clear powerade zero stuff so I don't think it's that. I've not had anything today with colours in it etc.

Just so odd! I was wondering if it was the pasta so badly affecting me - it was the instant kind. Normally I don't eat that stuff but I didn't have the energy to really cook properly today. Lesson learned.

I've had bright green BM's before. It scared the crap out of me too. looking at health websites it looks like your body isn't digesting your liver enzymes, which turns the BM green....and it is a symptom of Crohn's disease. I wouldn't worry too much about it though, especially if doesn't happen all the time!

Green stools can also mean rapid transit through your GI tract. I have had this happen more frequently during periods of stress, when my body just wants to flush everything out of my system. It should be okay, but always ask a doctor. Mine always seems to clearn up when my stress goes away.
