poop. no really, poop. beware.

i pooped this morning. it was a pale tan color. was yesterday too. weird. whats it mean?

sorry beforehand, but if you cant take the heat from the poop - stay out of the toilet.

im such a lady. :flowerforyou:

this happens if you have I.B.S when having or had a flare up,it will also make it feel like it's greasy even if you haven't had anything greasy to eat.

of cause it could just be something you ate causing it to be a tan colour that you hadn't thought of

Possibly sign of celiac. Just POSSIBLE. Google celiac and see if you have other symptoms.

EVERYTHING'S a possible sign of celiac.

Do you eat a lot of yogurt? I forgot to mention in my last post--my son had been on a yogurt kick (two or three a day) right around the time his light colored poop emerged.

Why is this chick even checking out the dogs *kitten* in the first place. I think she's some kind of dog perv...

ok, no this did. this made me laugh the hardest

OMG....I'm with you. This beats all! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

its her rubbing the tummy, lifting the tail, and then the dogs face as it surprised him more than her i think lmao

Omg!!!

its probably nothing to worry about. it might've been something you ate since poop comes in a rainbow of colors depending on what you've been eating, it might be because youre not producing enough bile (what makes it brown). again wouldn't be too worried at this time since that might pass (hrhrhr) but if it continues id go see a doctor to get it checked out.

that is true. beetroot poo has resulted in people dialling 999. Apparently beetroot can colour your pee as well.

once and had a panic when there was a bloody poo in the toilet.....then i remembered I had eaten and drunk the juice of a jar of pickled beetroot the night before while very drunk hahahaha

I'm curious as to why this is under "Food and Nutrition"....

I'm a vegan and when I eat more heavily on the fruits and veggies and less on the nuts and grains my stools are a lighter color. It is usually a sign of good intestinal health and that you are digesting things well. The dark color of stool is usually due to undigested nutrients.

Haha I love how (most) male responses are "Ewww poop" or making some snarky remark. While (most) female responses are constructive.

That being said, as a mom I have seen it in all shades and I wouldn't worry unless it was accompanied by other symptoms. If you are feeling unwell in other areas, then as Scrubs sang "Check the Poo"

Because poop is food. And contains nutrients. Food and nutrition!

Were the WebMD servers down this morning or are we just wanting to compare poop today?

Haha - this was my pondering as well.

Hey, don't be a party pooper!

To rule out illness, liver issues , etc. Contact your doctor for a checkup and ask if they need a specimen sample. Always take caution when something is outside the norm. A doctors visit should assist in ruling out issues while giving you an explanation of your current condition.

To the OP, if it concerns you, just drink some grape Crush. It will green your poop right quick. In fact, I'm doing it right now and looking forward to the results.

Did you wash your hands afterwards?
