Since I got the surgery, my poop has been green most of the time. Not sure why that is except possibly vegetables. I don't eat alot of veggies but they tend to be green. Is that what is causing it? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Nicole,  We have some stone cold Poop Experts on this forum who will know better than I, but I can tell you that iron does that for me, as does BodyMynts (kind of like Devrom). -Jas

i'm not really sure, but I have a funny green poo story for you.  My kids and I were freaked out cause we pooped neon green poo once.  I didn't know what was wrong with us.  Took us a while to figure out that it was the chocolate milk we drank, LOL.  When the movie "The Hulk" came out, the stores were selling green chocolate syrup, so when you mixed it in your milk it was green! LOL I guess it came out green too! LOL

Well, I can't really be called a "Stone Cold Poop Expert." but I do have undiagnosed OCD and I do look and pay attention to my "leavings." LOL. Saturday I had a spinach omelet with friends. The spinach was fresh and really dark green. That afternoon, my poop was very very dark green so I would assume, yes. Dark green veggies will turn your poop dark green.

Yes, RNY worked for me but it also requires a lot of work from me!

Every time I drink the Walmart brand of crystal light in grape, I get neon green poop.  Kinda cool.

Iron and green veggies usually have that effect on me.

Its most likely your iron.

Iron makes mine green, if you take iron I bet that's the reason.
