    Dark green poo

    It's really weird.... don't know why it's like this. Anyone's kid had it and know what it is? She's not on any medication or anything iron fortified. Not eating a particularly large amount of green veg or anything with food colouring.
    It's just started in the past couple of weeks. It was a but mucousy (post-illness stuff maybe...?) but now just green. I mean really really green. I recently started giving her some teething spray but the poo started before that.

    I found this Dr googling...

    "First we need to understand that your poop starts out green in color. This is due to bile. Bile is a dark green fluid which is secreted from the liver. This bile is stored in the small intestine and then the gallbladder. As the poop travels through our intestine system the digestive process changes the color of your poop. Sometimes we experience decreased bowel transit. This means that your poop has traveled through the intestines at a rate that is faster than normal."

    If its not medication related or anything like that I would probably just check with your gp if your worried,but try not to be.

    Hope your little one is ok. X

    Ds had dark green poo with his reflux, it only stopped recently when he outgrew the reflux.
