This may sound really odd. I have a temporary illeostomy and currently have pale green liquid coming out.. it looks a bit like toothpaste after you've brushed and spat if that makes any sense. Is this normal, or should I start panicking? I've never had it before?

It is normal. Green is usually bile, but can also be a direct color result from something you ate. Almost everything that comes out of me is green, complete liquid or toothpaste consistency. The pale color happens for me when I eat something that is prodominantly dairy, especially cream.

The wonderful rainbow of poop a stoma can give you. I remember having a heart attack after drinking close on a pint of strong black currant cordial, I had red liquids stuff coming out and I thought I was bleeding. That was an embarrassing trip to A&E.
If you want a really cool experience try drinking blue powerade! That can be quite funny.

Hahaha man that scared me!! I had no idea it could do that, I've had it for 5 months and that was the first time! Though it had stopped before I had an enormous bag leak yesterday because that definitely was the right colour haha.. slightly disappointing really ha.

Hi, can't help myself to chime in. I 'play ' with my poop! What?! It's interesting lol so one day I was really upset and crying about something, the tension in the room was awful, but there I was mindlessly playing with my poop crying, and all of a sudden I blurted out " hey, that's a ju jub!! We all burst out laughing and it certainly broke the tension in the room.
Another fun thing to play with is cottage cheese!! Haha
Sorry lol

There are times I miss junior, having a bag definitely has it's funny positives!
When I have Indian it comes out exactly the same colour as it went in,beet root is interesting too.
I love the beetroot poops. Its a bit frightening the first time, but after that its just plain cool. I also get blue poop if I drink blue powerade. I think I prefer the colour as opposed to the odour that some food gives off. I swear indian also comes out smelling the same as it went in. And yes fish is just plain vile and milk has a bit of an off milk smell. I dont think I have ever used so much bathroom spray in my life! Its especially annoying when using public toilets or work toilets. I'm sure i can smell the 'perfume of the poop' following me down the hall!
Yep it is purple if you mix them.
I had a spinach soup the other day, and BRIGHT green output.
Talk about smelly I'm the queen of pong,man I've left some clangers,my poor man we live in a mobilehome he's just bout sick sometimes(evil smirk).the mall is hilarious,
Yep, that stench, I almost evacuated the house yesterday. My bag just kept filling, with REALLY 'bad shit' (sorry, couldn't help myself). Each empty, I was nearly puking at the smell, intact it was so smelly that I could smell it all day, the smell seemed to be escaping from my bag all day and I felt I was literally walking around in a fart cloud. I checked everything thoroughly for leaks, tears or spills, but nothing. I have to assume the smell was just coming through the filter. Still fell like I smell today, but at least when I empty, the output is no where near as smelly! Infancy today it has a vinegarish smell! All a bit strange really!
