dddave Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I returned from a trip to the Philippines a few days ago and since have been spending an inordinate amount of time counting the tiles in the hong nam. Definitely diarrhea but the color is bright green, like i dined on grass clippings. I don't feel sick or feverish and can't think of anything unusual I ate that would cause such colorful #2. I'm now in the 3rd day and it seems to be easing a bit. Should I be concerned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I be concerned? green color is not unusual. if it does not stop after today go to the doctor and get a stool sample for lab tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain infections, like those caused by the bacterium Salmonella or the parasite Giardia, can also cause green stool. But other symptoms — including severe diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever — are common with these illnesses." Play it safe, go see your Doc!

Pilotman Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Doctor, definitely. Not something to leave until it clears up by itself, (if it does). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play it safe, go see your Doc! yes i tested positive for Salmonella with diarrhea that lasted for months. 18 moths to get back to near normal. important to not wait after 3 days if you do not improve. 23 minutes ago, dddave said: Should I be concerned?

(Slaps head) I missed my chance for a unique vlog: "The Chromecast Crapper" Anyway, thanks for the timely replies & suggestions. Much improved and far less colorful today, pretty much back to basic boring brown. I am taking Imodium and keeping hydrated. Salmonella and Giardia are not fun to deal with so if there is any relapse, to the EW I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
