Prior to being on antibiotics I did not have any issues with BM. Usually one in the morning and one when I got home from work. Now I still have regular BM but they aren't normal like they were before they are somewhat loose and have a dark/green tint to them. Is this the body pushing out the toxins? Or is this something I should be worried about?

The one concerning thing is fluffy wuffy puffy poopy pickles that are all white. This means you have intestinal yeast overgrowth and may need to add in probiotics or take more nystatin.

I have not had any loose stools, I just had a "BM" and mine was a smooth transaction. It moved to the contours of the toilet forming a lovely coil shape and uniform in brown colour. It was firm in form yet not hard where I had to be pushin and the toilet paper was so soft it cushioned my tushion. I only required one wipe of toilet paper but I wiped twice just to confirm. No fluffs or puffs or white spots present which means no yeast.

I think yes there are some toxins being absorbed here, so you want to include chlorella into your diet and my secret to good well formed picked is this V. One I have been using which has all the right fiber, pro-biotics, all the right stuff and it cleans the pipes out very well. Simple and clean is the way it makes me feel. No digestive issues with it. I use that, probiotics, and nystatin daily and my digestive health is now better than it was before I even went on antibiotics!

Be careful about the green. That can mean you're not digesting your food properly. Unfortunately, it can also be a sign of C. Diff. When I had C. Diff., I had either yellow or green stools.

If I were you, I would start taking S. Boullardi and Bacillus Coagulans, along with a probiotic with high strains, ie 80 billion or more.

Then, take a high-quality digestive enzyme before each meal, and perhaps Betaine HCL.

If that doesn't resolve the issue, you need to see a GI doctor, and get tested for C. Diff. A and B.

You should cook your veggies for awhile, eat bone broth, and as far as fruits, eat only blueberries, mango, papaya, and fairly ripe bananas. Cook the blueberries and the mangos.

Eat avocado and squash.

Stop starches, sugars, grains, and beans for awhile, and see if that helps.

I am currently taking Saccharomyces Boularsi + MOS (5 bil per capsule) and custom probiotics acidophilus & bifidus (60 bil). Do you think I should up my dosage? I usually try for at least one of each a day sometimes I take two.

Thanks for the enzyme suggestion

Do your probiotics throughout the day; not just once. Add Bacillus Coagulans. Try to go up to 80 billion strains, but take throughout the day.

Don't forget the probiotic foods.

There are a lot of foods that can turn your poop green or even black. Spinach, spirulina. I know there is more but sorry I'm sleepy. Also supplements can change it to. Just keep an eye on it...if you can. I would always try to look at my 'deeds' to analyze how well I was digesting food and such...but we have those darn automatic flushers at work and they are super sensitive. It would've been hilarious to try to watch me turn around real fast so I could see if my poop was normal. ;)

and @lyme. I'm so glad to hear your poop was a smooth transaction. lol. That really made my day. Even though I'm done from treating lyme..dagnamit - I still need to eat my flax seed everyday lol!

That's true, too. The other day, ummm, mine was bright green though, and I hadn't eaten anything green. Rather alarming.

The funny thing though is that a few times, it looked like my toilet was absolutely filled with blood, and then I realized I had eaten beets!
