    You people all look at what you laid out in the bowl? Seriously, that is so gross. I sneak a cheek, wipe twice. Then flush and I am out the door. I don't have a stool self documentary and self discovery every time I am in there. Never look back.

    No poo-viewing shaming! Lol, poo documenting is so important in my work! It can alert us to possible issues, causes of behavior changes, health, nutrition, so much! It seems like typical workplace convo are things like "Has [name] had a bm today? What was it like? What did it smell like?" Especially when battling c-dif, appearance and smell are important things to make note of. So yeah, I see a lot of other people's poo in my day-to-day, taking a look at my own doesn't seem so gross! :flowerforyou:

    I can't reply based on your question as I eat meat, but when I ate too much licorice when pregnant my poop turned green.

    Must just be diet related, I wouldn't panic unless it was bloody or looked like coffee grounds!

    I went a bit crazy on some grandmother-in-law's home-canned green beans once, and I had the same outcome, so to speak.

    You don't wash your hands before walking out of the door?

    I bet you're a lot of fun at parties.

    Sometimes I get scared when I drink lots of red Gatorade, or when I don't do a good job chewing my red peppers... but then I remember and I LOL.

    Purple things turn poop green. Grape flavored sodas, popsicles, juices, etc.

    LOL that happened to me too!

    I've heard of mothers dialling 999 after their just-weaned-onto-solids baby produces a beetroot nappy (diaper)....

    Your poop can be the first indication that something is internally wrong with you, as in internal organs. Poop colour can change if your pancreas or liver function screws up; a change in poop colour (or blood or mucous in your poop) can also be an early indicator of kidney disease, stomach cancer, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, gallbladder disease, geezus the list goes on. NOT checking your poop before you flush isn't the wisest idea in the world, especially as you age. Same goes for urine; getting acquainted with both your stool and urine before you flush can, in the future, warn you that something is going wrong.

    Having said that, always assume it's your diet before you jump to "omg I have cancer!!!" Unless we're talking black stool, bloody stool, or excess mucous in your stool. Otherwise if the issue persists beyond a few days AND a change of diet (as in, stop eating green foods for a few days) then go see your doctor.

    You only wipe twice?!? OMG, I bet you're going around with a nasty booty. Takes more than two wipes sometimes, ya know...

    Yes twice. I'm sure that is more than sufficient.
    To the other person, I wash my hands several times thought the day. I don't use the excuse to potty time to specifically wash them though. I really just have no desire to be in there more than I have to with all that going on. Now I'm going to sick up because I went back in this tread and read it.
