Hope someone answers this, I am a little freaked. I think I only had two oreos. My output went from yellowish green brown, to basically exactly the color of an oreo, but it was a good amount, 100 cc. Will oreos do that. I know about the whole coffee grounds/blood thing so that is why I am nervous. I actually was feeling good today and optimistic as I am only three weeks out of my First step. I did start taking lomtil 2 days ago. 2 twice a day.

Ohhhh yes. Anytime I eat a higher sugar food (chocolate bar, ice cream, cookies, cake) my output increases a ton and it becomes very liquidy. And it's always the colour of the food I eat (pink for strawberry ice cream, brown for chocolate cake, etc). I will eat a banana or something to help thicken it back up a little, and make sure I drink enough water to help replace the extra loss.

Hope this helps!

Lol yes, even now with my j pouch when I have Oreos (love them) my output is the same color as the Oreo....black. Over time you'll get used to that kind of thing and actually laugh about it. Mint chip ice cream is a good one too. Love that green color. :) My j pouch is four years old now so I really don't get increased bm's form sugary things like I used to. It's adapting nicely.

ha ha, yep back to normal. Guess I have to get used to that. I feel alot better this morning too, than the other mornings since my surgery, and I slept through the whole night!

If you haven't eaten blue food coloring yet that's interesting!

HA, I knew exactly what this post was going to be about when I saw the subject line! I find that any color of sports drink makes its presence known as well, it was an interesting day at work after I had a red powerade!

to add a bit more grossness re. the output factor- I had Indian food last week, first time with the end ileo- saag paneer, daal, some rice.... about 3-4 hours later, what came out of my bag looked & smelled exactly like what went into my mouth! I mean literally- I could've dumped my bag onto a dinner plate. Gross, but really funny! You just have to laugh....

I love this thread!! I am grossly amused by some of the things that come out looking and smelling very similar to the way they went in. If you eat Red Velvet anything....cake, ice cream, cookies....do not be alarmed when your output is that same shade of red! Does anyone else eat quinoa? Seeing the little curly bits always makes me giggle :) Gross?? Well....yeah, but anyone who says that don't enjoy a little poo humor is just lying!!

Pesto smells EXACTLY the same.

Yeah, it always makes me giggle to myself when I think that the person in the stall next to me must be asking, "Why am I smelling ______?" :)

Lol yeah very funny thread, so true (color in / color out). As for sugar effect, I am only a bit more than 14 mos past surgery but i also notice less and less liquidy effect of sugary food on constency. In any case, a short temporary liquidy effect is no reason not to enjoy a nice decadent desert now and again. Chocolate, curiously, doesnt liquify my stool like some sugary stuff does, at least not assuming that I have eaten some bulky stuff at a similar recent time.

I find that with any shell fish...smells just like when I ate it.

If you ever eat red beets.....don't panic....it's not blood!!!!
