green poo

This is fairly grody, but it’s so hilarious it had to be shared. I never wondered, but now I know: drinking large amounts of purple gatorade makes your poo BRIGHT GREEN. Like leaves on plants green. I laughed so hard I cried when I saw the green there in the bowl.
Apparently it’s the vast amount of Blue #1 dye they use to make it purple — passes right through your system and combines with the yellow tones in poo to make green.

  1. You should really avail yourself of the soft drinks made by Skeleteens Counter Culture Sodas.

    Many of them are nigh-undrinkable, but sufficiently strange that they ought to be experienced. Black Lemonade is my favorite and not coincidentally one of the more drinkable of the lot. A single Brain Wash (the blue one), turned my stool blue for about three days.

  2. lol thanks for the info.
    bout a week ago my dad bought bout 6 boxes of blue powerade. each box containing bout 10 1 litre bottle. and i drink about 3-5 a day. which explains my dark green poo!
    hahaha

  10. I have just come accross this website after searching on google for green poo, at the advice of my girlfriend. Reason being i have been experiencing Green Poo myself. Rather than laughing like my girlfriend is right now i was quite worried!
    But i have been drink excessive amounts of Patriots Choice powder solution.
    So thats it crazy American drinks cause green poo. Problem Solved. Thanks foodnerd

  11. i have dark green poo and i do not know what causes it. and i am too embarresed to tell any one.plz reply soon thnx food nerd

  13. I have had green poo for a week and have been quite concerned. Some of it was bright green… almost neon green. Unlike others, I didn’t laugh because I thought maybe I was consuming too much copper in my diet. You know… due to bad plumbing or something. Anyway, I read the comments here and realized I recently started drinking 1-2 grape Powerades each day. Now I know the cause of my green poo…and I have discovered a great party trick!

  14. SO I haven’t been drinking any weird soda/powerade/sports drink concoctions and I have just experienced my first green poo…at first I was slightly scared thinking I had a bad disease then I laughed a little when I read all the comments here!
    But I’m wondering what else would cause green poo? I’ve have the flu for the past few days could this be it? although I’ve never had green poo the other times I’ve had the flu. All I’ve eaten is apples(not green ones either!lol) and have been drinking water.
    would anyone know what this could be?

  15. So my fellow poopies,
    I too have experienced the great green terd. I was having a big dirty old poop and a whole bunch of green shit came out. It clogged my fing toilet.The smell is pretty dirty…actually its really dirty , but my g/f loves it 🙂 , i called a plumber , he came in to sqush the poops down dee toilet but when he seen it , he ran and called the newspaper….help me wht do i do?????

  16. The Green terd srikes again!!!
    Like the rest, I was conserned about my poo, and like many others in this “Green Poo afisionado” page, I was releaved when I started to read the comments of the rest of the victims of the infamuse “Green poo”. In my case I just had yesterday like about a Quart of a purple flower extract called “Jamaica”. This particular drink is usualle consumed by Hispanics (like my self) and like most of us, we think its just bad “guacamole”. Since in my case I did not eat any “guacamole” I did not make the connection as to why the Green poo. Thanks to this forum, I now know why Green Shit happens.
    Funny forum, liked it a lot.

  18. i was so embarresed i had unprotected sex for the first time misse a period and thought i was pregnant…i still dont know but at least the green poo has nothing to do with it!

  19. OK so my Village Fair was on Bank Holiday Monday (August 29th) and I saw a liqurice booth, so I bout quite alot of it. I bought roughly 2 ft of Green Liquorice, Blue Liquorice and 1 ft of Orange, then last night (28th August) and about 5 mins ago (August 29th) I had the oh so famous Poo A la Green. I laughed and freaked out at the same time, and my mum thought I had dyed it with Ink, but from reading this it sounds like it was probz the blue colouring in the blue liquorice, but what i’m conserned about is, does this just go because personally i’d rather just have the same old Brown Poo, answers would be appriciated!
    Peace,

  21. hi there i have had this experience many times purple powerade is the worst if u dont wont green poo then dont drink it o yeah and dark green powerade sourmelon flavor goes in u green and comes out green one time i went to the bathroom at work and i hoped no one was outside the b room cuz i didnt want any1 to see i clogged it with green poo o yeah and another thing that makes green poo and lumpy is drink purple powerade and eat corn

  22. I have had many a great green turd. oooh wonderous green turd your secrets need answering. It could be down to the powerade consumption but i also get it when i eat loads of veg. so could a high level of clorophyl cause this radioactive turd? I dont know, but it always fun to get a green one.

  23. I just had my first experience and googled it straight away to make sure it was nothing serious… And I have been racking my brain for something I have eaten out of the ordinary with food colouring…. Froot Loops is all I can come up with. I NEVER eat them, everything else is the norm for me…. oh and I had a few too many chocolates on the weekend. Thanks foodnerd 🙂

  24. Ive been having the “green” issue for a few weeks, while growing up my mother told me it says you havn’t had enough fruit and vegies… but i have narrowed it further to the large amount of licorice i have been consuming lately seems that 1kg bad will keep it going for days) not something I would go to the doctor about but enough concern to google it.

  25. We have all experienced the green turd every now and then, but its always fun to get one. Ha Ha. LOL. 🙂 . to get a green turd drink a whole bunch of blue koolaid. It works every time.

  27. ello food nerds lol!!
    Mint sauce and red wine. Thats what does it to me, but in flowing form, not terds. Proper spray all over the pan, quite embarassing!!
    I thought I was dying (which we are…. I know)… but now realise its just food/drink lol!!
    Be merry xx

  28. good to know im not terribly sick. i just eat way more peas than necessary.
    green poo is such a weird experience. i thought the water in my toilet was messed up at first. then i flushed and a cloud of green was released from the poo. teehee.

  29. The greeb turd strikes again and this time lasted for 3 weeks. In my case I have not had anything with dye that I know of. Any Ideas what might have cuased it.

  30. So uh, yeah I just had a green poo…seeing as everyone else seems to thinks its from blue or purple drinks, I would imagine it was from the blue/green slurpee I has earlier today.

  34. Whenever I drink … gosh it can be two glasses of red wine and only red wine my stool is green for al least a day ……..Im not worried, I just thought you should know…lol

  35. Just had a green poop, not sure why its green because i only had one gatoraid yesterday and it does not normally do that. My friend says protein can give you it too.

  36. Its just Soda or somthing unhealthy you ate or with artifial colors ROFL Owned by a 12 year old.

  38. I had one, was a bit worried, then when I read these amusing posts I relised that it was the green spiderman cake with blue icing my kids and myself made yesterday and ate way to much of. Thx
