So you all may or may not know that over the past month or so, I have had troubles with constipation.

Nothing seems to help!

Whenever something does come out, it's only a little bit, an it's watery.

I'm still having the watery stuff, but now it's green! :(

What could that mean?!?

Green means bile. Or maybe spinach? ;-)

I've got terribly slow bowels, but not liquidy poop. If you've truly been blocked up, it's possible that you have hard stool blocking the colon and only the liquid is sneaking by. have you ever used a laxative? This might be the time to try a gentle one.

I'm pretty sure it isn't spinach. As much as I love it, I haven't been able to eat any lately.

I've tried a few different laxatives (Dulcolax, Miralax, Milk of Magnesia), I've also tried stool softeners and Fleet enemas.

Nothing has worked for me :( I saw my GI last week and they put me on a "bowel cleanse" which included the Miralax and Milk of Magnesia.

I go back to the GI the 5th, hopefully there's something they can do for me! Isn't there someway they can put me to sleep, get a vacuum and get everything out? :\

My poo turns green when I eat certain foods. Grape soda and pringles, to name a couple.

Yeah I drink a pink colored Gatorade all the time and it turns my poop green too. Good luck!

I have no idea what it could be!
I've had green stool before. But it's usually a dark green. This is a bright green :\

Well it was, it's back to normal color now.
Weird!!!

Trust me - you don't want them to vacum. My uncle had to have this done due to his cancer meds and my aunt said it was not a fun time for him - they don't put you to sleep to do it, very painful. It could be a partial blockage. My mom also had the same issues - all water no formed stools. She just had a small anal opening. They were able to strech the opening to help some. As for the green - mine gets green when I am in a flare.
