**With the sick feeling lately, it sounds like Rotovirus--the flu.  Have her push fluids slowly to avoid dehydration.  I found this other info also just in case:\n\n"Green stools often indicate that food has passed through the intestines faster than normal (called decreased colon transit time), before it could be changed from green to brown. \n\nDiarrhea decreases colon transit time, so any condition that causes diarrhea can result in green stools. \n\nOther causes of green stools are:\nlaxative use\n\nantibiotic use\n\nmedication side effects\n\nfood poisoning\n\nceliac disease\n\nulcerative colitis\n\nCrohn's disease\n\nmalabsorption\n\nirritable bowel syndrome\n\nbacterial overgrowth\n\ninfectious diarrhea - salmonella and giardia in particular anxiety\n\ntraveler's diarrhea\n\ncancer\n\nFoods and supplements that can cause green stools include:\nchlorophyll\n\niron supplements\n\nalgae"\n\n\nHope this helps!

The liver creates bile and mixes it with feces or stool and that gives it the brown color. Foods affect it a little. Eat greens with chlorophyll and that has green color. Eat lots of carrots and it is a lighter brown.

This is really mean, but I doubt it is for real anyway. You're a goober, but you make me laugh because you are. You have a SICK imagination.  If it is for real - Tell her that which doesn't kill her will make her stronger.  Let her borrow your son's prank book - she can trip her friends who call her the poop queen.  She should trip you too!

She should probably see a doctor to check that nothing is wrong down there, that would seem sensible.\n\nS\nx

Too much can obstuct a persons intestines. Paper is not meant to be eaten. Eating non food items can sometimes be a symptom of a vitamin/mineral deficiancy. She needs to go to the doc.

Take her to the dr or the ER right away. This could be a serious infection.

There is no reason to be scared. It is not uncommon for people to hurt themselves, and go visit the doctor later when things don't get better. There is no problem with just getting it checked - it might be something that won't heal by itself. Try to convince her that it is worth her health just to make sure everything is OK.

Hi there !\nI presume she had undergone "inguinal hernia " repair ! ??\nOkay..I had undergone the same in December 2004 ! Following are to be taken care of :\n1. NO weight lifting !\n2. Light diet !\n3. Ask her not to strain in toilet !\n4. While taking bath, ask her to sit !\n5. Constipation, should be avoided at any \n    cost... by taking food at the right time and \n    by the intake of fruits for some time to \n    come !\nIt is said that about 5-10% of the hernia cases come back with a recurrence after 3 years ! If we as pateints take more care, we can avoid it !\nThe doctors can advise..but we have to practise !\nWish her a speedy recovery !\nbest wishes !

tell her to drink 100% purple grape juice.  It is good for kidney's and liver so it will assist with cleaning your blood. Thus turning it back to the right color.

I would see another health care type person.  No movement in a week is really excessive.  See another doctor or  try one of those colon health type practitioners.

ok can i get some more info although i will try to answer this for you without it. Has she had a bowel movement recently before the citrate? if you say no then the hard swelling could be really bad. And she needs to be seen now. If her bowels explode it will kill a person in 48 hours....... This is nothing to play with..........If you dont believe me call your local pharmacist or hospital they will confirm.......Her large intestine could be knotted and this she needs to be seen for also. Dont wait til doctors hours take her to the er. If they are twisted or knotted and she pushes too hard it will explode.....

I have consulted with a doctor, a physiologist and a microbiologist on this question, and the following summarizes their answers: \n    Healthy people can have green poop if they eat a diet rich in leafy green vegetables, or if they consume large quantities of food coloring (in ice cream, cake frosting etc.). \n    Green poop can also be caused by excess iron in the diet, from dietary supplements, for example. If the body does not absorb all the iron consumed, the iron may stain the poop green, the color of iron (II) salts. Ordinarily, the green color may be masked by the normal brown poop color, but if digestion is thrown off by illness so that bilirubin is less concentrated in the intestine, the green color may become apparent. This can happen when a person is afflicted with diarrhea. \n    Green poop in sick babies may come from iron in baby formula not being properly absorbed, or by green pigments in bile salts (again, green from iron).

She might.  If her mucous is green-ish, you should take her to the doctor.  If she isn't running a fever now, you will probably be okay to wait until Monday.  Good luck.
