hello everyone 23 male here. for the past few weeks iv been having very green poop everyday when i go to the bathroom. what does it mean if anything. should i be concerned at all? i havent changed my diet or anything.

i have been having the same problem for about a month.  so far, my research has suggested that lots of green leafy vegetables or grape koolaide / gatorade could be the cause.  also, post nasal drip (sinus infection) could do it.  I dont have a sinus infection and I am not consuming the items i listed.  So, I still dont have answers for mine.  If the above apply to you, then you may want to back off the greens, or stop drinking the koolaide.

hey youre not gonna believe this but guess what i drink everyday. i drink a 3 liter bottle of grape soda. might explain the very green poop. but why green after all grape soda is purple so you would think your poop would be purple.

I drink lots of Gatorade fierce, which happens to be purple, but I was told that eating foods high in iron will give you green poop and possible constipation.

hey rayman! i've been drinkin alot of gatorade fierce lately too!! and having green poo..well that must be it then!

The dyes used to make Purple are red and Blue. The red dye is processed by your body while you pass the Blue. The Blue mixes with bile in your stomach which is bright yellow. Yellow + Blue= Green poop!

i ate tv dinner like hamburger beef or something i cooked for the time it said and that was like 3-6 days ago and now my poo is green do you think it was under cooked and could have caused it? and if so what disease could i get

My roomate just took the greenest **** I have ever seen. He has been drinking a lot of grape koolade and eating a lot of salad in the last couple of days which I do believe may be part of the problem. He also is Irish and just got a new can of the copenhagen wintergreen, which I belive has the biggest input to the green output. WP
