Did you know that your stool can tell a lot about your health?

Well I confess that I really didn’t know, let alone did I ever give it much thought.

That was until one day, after going to the bathroom I noticed that my stool was an odd color.  Not just an odd color, but a dark green color.  For as long as I can remember I have never seen my poop any color but the typical brown.

Not really knowing what to make of my green stool and to be completely honest feeling a little nervous, I decided to do a little research on the Internet.  I wanted to see if I could find what  was the cause of my green poop and to know if it was something I needed to worry about.

I think I spent the next 2 hours researching all the different medical conditions that my green poop could be a symptom of.

And what I found was a little alarming!

After all my research this is what I found. My green stool was a clear signal from my body that something was not right.  It was a sign that my body was not processing the foods I was eating correctly and my intestinal “flora” or good bacteria was severely effected.  This could all lead to several serious health conditions in the future if I didn’t take action immediately!  I could not ignore this sign from my body and I had to do something right away.

Feeling a little desperate this is what I did…………..

I spoke with a good friend of mine who is a nutritionist and she recommended that I start a probiotic regiment to rebuild the natural bacteria in my intestine.  She explained that there are “good bacteria” in my intestine that help my body digest and process food, but sometimes with a poor diet, stress, or disease this good bacteria can die and cause problems for my health.

Taking an all natural probiotic should restore the natural good bacteria quickly and pretty much solve all my problems.

So I decided, I had nothing to lose and that I would go ahead and give it a try.

Again after some more research I found a great probiotic call Bowtrol.  It had tons of good reviews and the best part was it was only like 29 bucks.  Plus they had a 30 day guarantee, so if it didn’t seem to be helping me I could just return it and get my money back.  No risk sounded good to me.

When I finally got the probiotics I took it everyday for about 2 weeks. I wasn’t really expecting anything dramatic to change in my body, but boy was I surprised!

After only two weeks I felt better than I had in years.  My bowel movements not only returned to normal but they were better than ever.  I was going to the bathroom at least twice a day.  It was amazing.  My body felt light, energized and just all around healthier.  The way my body felt was priceless!

Before this I never realized how much my digestive tract effects my overall health.

And the best part of my the entire journey (which I was totally not expecting at all) was that I lost about 10 pounds and my stomach looked flatter than ever.  I know it sounds crazy, and the weight might have been just excess waste stuck in my intestine, but I was super happy.

I felt better, had more energy and lost weight.  I was satisfied!

I am really excited to share my story with others and I want to thank you for letting me share it you.  I know its sometimes embarrassing for us to talk about what happens to our bodies in the bathroom, but it’s something we just can’t ignore.

If you found my website because your also looking for information about your green stool or weird bowel movements, then I hope my story can inspire you.

If you want to use the same probitics that I used you can find it HERE.

I wouldn’t recommend something that I didn’t think was a great product.  Plus you can go ahead and use it for 30 days and if you don’t like it, you can call them at this number 1-818- 303-9260 to request your money back.

The benefits of using this probitoic were more than worth it.

• By bowel movements returned to normal
• My body felt better than it has in probably 20 years
• I actually lost weight (Which was a huge surprise to me)
• I had more energy to do the things I loved in my day and didn’t get tired.
• My skin looked healthier and had that beautiful glow

I don’t know if you’ll experience all the same benefits that I did.
But I do know one thing for certain, if you don’t at least give it a try you’ll never know how good your body will feel.

If you do decide to give the probitics a try please leave a comment about your experience below.  I read all on them, and I love to hear how you benefited.

Your your health!

P.S.

Again you can find the probitoics I used HERE.   They were really great and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending them to anyone even my best friend.

Everyone poops. However, it is a topic people avoid or feels uncomfortable and uneasy when the topic comes up in a conversation. Even if poop is not a topic you want to talk about, it is important to discuss poop because your poop plays a major role in your overall health. Thus, you should have a regular healthy poop to keep your body functioning properly.

Poop occurs when your body absorbs the nutrients it needs from the foods you consume and then eliminates any leftovers. It is composed of 75% water; the water is absorbed via fecal matter and travels though our large intestine. The balance of the water consist of dead bacteria, which is instrumental in helping us digest foods.

All poop smells, this is a normal occurrence. It is a good sign that healthy bacteria’s in your body is working properly. Remember, your body has a huge amount of bacteria that helps your digestive as well as metabolic systems. This causes your healthy poop to smell.

Poop color is important because it plays an important role in informing you what activities are prevalent in your gastrointestinal tract. Brown stool is a healthy stool occurs due to its bile content, which is created in the liver.  If you have green stool instead of brown stool, there is no reason to be concerned because it is not usually an indication of a serious illness. Green poop are common with babies after eating foods for the first time. Light green color stool can be indicative of having extra sugar in your diet.  In adults, green poop can be a result of eating green leafy vegetables as well as consuming green food coloring.  Additionally, green poop may occur when you are sick with diarrhea, and bile salts transmitted through your intestine without change.

Now that we determined that green stool is not a reason to be concerned, you might wonder what color poop should cause concern. Well, black stool is not normal, and is usually a sign that dries blood might be present, which could possible be a result of internal bleeding in your upper digestive tract. Yellow poop is usually a result of infections. Red stools are an indication that you have bleeding or hemorrhoids.

If you do not have a healthy poop, contact your medical provider immediately for assistance.

Unless you’re a parent, rarely does anyone sit around and talk about bowel movements with one another.  The topic comes up when discussing your children, but even parents rarely discuss their own digestive habits with one another.  Something that might give cause for concern is Green Stool.  This is a sensitive and embarrassing subject that sometimes needs to be addressed with your doctor.  Other times, it could just be a change in your diet or something completely safe and temporary that doesn’t affect you or your life in any way.  You need to be informed so you know when it is safe and when you should bring it up with your doctor.

A main cause of having Green Stool is strictly from your diet.  This can come in a variety of ways.  If you just starting taking an iron supplement or have been eating a lot of foods that are iron-rich, then you may have noticed a change in the color of your bowels.  Some foods that might cause this are green and leafy vegetables such as spinach or broccoli.  Eating other foods that use artificial dyes such as Kool-aid or Popsicles can also cause your stools to turn green temporarily.  All of these things are harmless and shouldn’t cause you concern unless you are experiencing pain or other strange symptoms.

There are other cases where this could be caused by bile.  Bile only gets turned brown after passing through your large intestine.  If you have been taking laxatives or have diarrhea, it may pass through too quickly and will remain green.  This Green Stool is also usually temporary and will subside.  If you continue having diarrhea after a period of time, and you have tried to adjust your diet, you should definitely bring this up to your doctor as it might be a sign of something more serious.

Some of the conditions that are more serious that cause Green Stool is salmonella poisoning, intestinal infections, and intestinal disorders.  If you have ruled out your diet, and you have no other reason to suspect why you are having green stool, then you need to bring this to your doctor’s attention.  You do not want to wait too long to discuss it in case it is something serious.  Even if your doctor rules out anything serious, you can have the peace of mind to know everything is alright.  If the green stool is still bothering you, try to make sure you are eating a healthy and balanced diet.

When a person knows what to expect from their body on a daily basis, things become unsettled when something entirely different occurs instead. Let us look at the issue of Green Stool. Most people have experienced this peculiar event and most people do not know what caused it. With the internet at the fingertips of many people, perhaps this mystery has been explained to the majority of Green Stool sufferers. For those still wondering, read on to discover why stool that is normally brown can sometimes turn green.

Diet is the main culprit that causes the appearance of Green Stool. Anything green, if eaten in a substantial quantity will create Green Stool. Purple and blue drinks are also known to turn stool green when expelled through the digestive system. Iron supplements and chlorophyll are also known to cause green stools. Bile is secreted from the liver and is bright green in color. The digestive system needs bile to break down fats in a person’s diet. Bile works its way down the intestines as bacteria changes the bile color to yellow and then brown. Babies still breastfeeding have soft stools that are yellow or green. This is considered normal.

If the waste passes through the intestines too quickly, the metamorphosis of bright green to yellow to brown does not occur before the Green Stool is expelled from the body. Diarrhea is a common ailment that causes reduced bowel transit time. Any prolonged change in stool warrants a trip to the doctor, however, an assessment of events leading up the Green Stool needs to be evaluated to determine the cause. When diet and or diarrhea are ruled out as the cause, further professional help may be needed to resolve the issue.

When obvious reasons have been dismissed, a look into uncommon causes should be explored. Some of the uncommon causes of green stool are parasites, laxative use, malabsorption, and food poisoning to name a few. Green Stool accompanied by fever, pain and nausea can be something entirely different from diet or diarrhea alone. An absence of brown stool is usually not something to be alarmed about unless disturbing symptoms accompany the bowel movement. It most cases it is perfectly normal. A little knowledge about the innocent causes of this event should alleviate panic when a green stool appears.
