What would cause this?

I apologize in advance if you havent eaten dinner yet but everyone in this households poop has been green on a daily basis for 5 days straight. We just discussed and discovered this. No one has diarrhea.

At least we were able to get through our dinner before it came up.

What would be some possible causes for this? I understand bile is likely involved and responsible for the color, but what would cause us to all be dumping bile? Something in the water? New Mold that I dont see?

Sorry July I knew that might happen around this hour.

I may have stumbled on the answer already, at least I hope so. We have all been drinking xylitol. found this over at curezone:

OK I just realised something. Over the previous 24 hours I had consumed 3-4 bowls of yoghurt (haven't eaten yoghurt in months/years). And in that yoghurt I put 2 teaspoons of xylitol. Something you should know about xylitol is that it passes through the GI tract mostly undigested - and it is strongly osmotic.
Finally it slipped my memory, but I noticed green stools a day earlier (I never get green stools).

So my current hypothesis is:
I ate a lot of fatty yoghurt which caused a release of bile which wasn't absorbed back because of the osmotic pressure exerted by xylitol. As a result I got green stools (bile), then followed by: Pale stools, lack of digestive power, oily stools etc, due to lack of bile.

So in effect I gave myself a mini-liver flush! So for the moment the coconut oil is in the clear.

JV.

I am so glad you figured out the cause ChickenArise. Hope your poop returns to normal soon!!!;)

Julymorning, I hope you can continue to have a nice meal and a nice night.

Take care, Jo

LOL, thank Jo, I am! I always forget how much I love asparagus!


CA, did of you in the family over do the yogurt?

Thanks all,

Did you mean to say did all of us over do yogurt (consumption)? I dont think my son eats it much. He favors carbs over fats also.

We all have been doing more sugar alcohols. Thats a common denominator.

I sprayed the house with Kleen-Free enzyme cleaner all inside every room.

I wonder if its not something else.....
