I have been having bouts of green bowel movements. I keep trying to think if anything I am eating would cause it. I did add eggplant to my diet, but that was a bit before the green appeared. I googled it and it mentioned something about bile and the food passing too quickly. Which seemed odd.

Any thoughts?

Are you drinking anything grape or purple? That's what always does the green poop to me!

THAT'S IT! I have been drinking A LOT of Target brand crystal Lite in Grape. It is sooooo good. Phew! Glad about that!

Thanks!

Glad you figured it out and it was nothing big. Do you still have your gallbladder?

Mimi

Mimi, Yes, I do still have it. I hope, through the band and work, that I will avoid the Triple F that causes Gallbladder probs: Fat, Fertile and Forty!

LOL - I wish I heard of the Triple F's 2 years ago......I turned 40, am definitely fat and out came the Gall Bladder..... and then on came some more fat

Tell me more about the triple f's..

fyi..too much iron will do that too...taking multivitamin and eating high iron foods like cereal etc will do it...as a teen i was freaked out by that and learned that was what caused it.

Tell me more about the triple f's..

We actually call it the "Four F's" Female, Fat, Fertile, and Forty...pretty much sums up the most likely people to have gallbladder disease....overweight women who are still ovulating and approaching 40. The fat and the hormones reck havok on the poor gallbladder!

I'm 41, female, fertile, etc.....but I had my gallbladder out almost 15 years ago. My poop's never been the same. I've had every size, shape and color you could imagine so I've had extensive conversations with my doctors over the years regarding this, uh, colorful subject. They pretty much all agree that color is of absolutely no concern unless there is blood in the stool. The color is directly related to whatever you've ingested so the purple drink person was right on the money! Such knowledge on this forum!!!!

Add another "F": fair. Fair-haired, light-skinned, light-eyed females tend to be at higher risk, too

Fair, fat, female, and forty
