Rapid transit could cause stool to be green. This is especially true if it is green diarrhea, rather than a fully-formed green stool. Food that is moving so quickly through the digestive system will not spend a long enough time in the large intestine for water to be absorbed, and will result in a loose stool.

Thank you

I have green diarrhea as well. 2 weeks out and 4 days of Loose stool being tested now for diff c. If I take immodium it goes away but 12 hours later comes right back. Trying no lactose, trying a probiotic next will be benefiber. Any other decisions. It is wiping me out.

Sorry 4 days post op

Thanks! I will. This seems to be a normal issue. I do like the immodium one a day and I'm normal till the next morning. I really think it is more figuring out how to eat, when to eat, what to eat etc. for me it sucks having finally gotten to an age where I know my body and now I have to learn it all over again!

The Iron that I take makes mine dark green or even black

Thanks everyone for sharing[emoji3][emoji3][emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]

Yes! I started having it day after surgery. Still a little left 3 days out but more normal in color now. I asked about the green and nurse in hospital said it's from the gas they use in surgery and that it was totally normal. Hope this helps!

Sounds like the dumping syndrome, this is what I had and they gave me lopermide twice a day for 5 days then 1 a day for 5, haven't had any loose stools for nearly 3 weeks.

Hi! I am now 6 days postop and just called my doctor with the same green, runny yet sticky stools. She said she has noticed it a lot with the new vitamins they are giving with iron. I am taking Batriatric Advantage Ultra Multi With Iron. She is sending me to the lab for blood work just to make sure my numbers are okay.

I am 3 days post-op and experiencing the green, sticky, loose stools. I don't have any severe abdominal pain, fatigue or problems breathing. I hoping the color change happen soon. I having difficulty with coughs and sneezes. This makes my abdomen feel like my stitches are going to bust.
