My shit is weird


Question Posted Monday May 9 2011, 12:49 pm

so like, im a guy and all right, and im really young, im about to turn 20. not that it matters with this question
but for some reason, often, whatever i eat turns up in my shit, and its nasty.
like a month ago, i ate cotton candy icecream at Cold Stone and my shit was neon blue. And yesterday i had Chipotle and this morning when i went to shit there was corn in the shit and some bits of salsa. n kits kinda nasty i mean, you know. And it wasnt even digested corn or chewed corn... it was like fresh from the fridge corn. Like it was perfect. And last week my roomate cooked brocolli and carrots and when i shitted there were litttle sprouts in the shit. I mean, i dont have diarrhea or anything, my shit is fresh, but for some reason, whatever i eat turns up in my shit. I didnt wanna look at it to see what was wrong, so i took my digital camera and me and my roomate took a pic of it with our eyes closed. So i uploaded it on my computer and zoomed in on the delicious stuff in the shit to see exactly what it was. And me and my roomate were like thats gross dude.
Is tehre something wrong with me or my diet, or is it like some kind of disease. Because im not fat or anything, i work out alot with my roomate and all the girls check us out... so i dont think its my health, but im not sure........

Well, the blue coloring isn't anything to be TOO alarmed about because it depends heavily upon the dye they've used to color it, how much you consumed of it, and how much "other" foods and liquids you had consumed. No big deal. It happens.

For example, on St. Patrick's Day so many people get drunk off of the "green beer" that is so popular. You know...most of those drunken people will end up urinating funny colors for the next day or two.

However, there was a king once upon a time who experienced blue stools. I don't recall which king and what disorder it was but he did die of it. You'd be experiencing more frequent blue color stools than once every now and again though and it wouldn't be necessarily tied to food coloring that was consumed.

Corn is digestible, but the outer bit of it (the yellow stuff that actually surrounds the "meat" of the kernel) is not. You have to really grind down that yellow bit to get it to pass through your system properly. I wouldn't be too alarmed to be finding corn in your stool.

And, while it may look like a whole kernel, it probably isn't. As it passes through the digestive tract, it very well can become "filled" again with waste products. That being said, it can appear to be whole and completely undigested.

The problem that really exists is this:

"...last week my roomate cooked brocolli and carrots and when i shitted there were litttle sprouts in the shit."

This is not normal. Broccoli and carrots are digestible. You should never be seeing anything like this in your stool because your body CAN and WILL break down this, as another user here as said, roughage. If your body wasn't able to break down such a thing then every vegetarian on the planet would be shitting carrots and spinach leaves. It's utterly retarded to say it's normal to find "roughage" in your stool because it's considered fiber.

I eat a fair amount of vegetation. For awhile, I ate A LOT of vegetation and practically lived off of raw broccoli, green onions, bell peppers, etc. FYI: I never looked in the toilet and thought, "Oh, salad!"

Being overweight doesn't mean there has to be a problem with digestion. Average size and thin people can experience major problems with the ability to break down whole foods. Weight isn't a factor here. Your digestive system is the issue.

So, if I were you, I would see a doctor and explain the situation. For some reason your body isn't doing what it should do with whole foods. While it may not be a problem now, it can cause health issues in the future as you age.

See your doctor.
Explain the situation.
Heck, bring the photo for a visual for him/her to see and discuss with you.
Monitor what you eat and drink and what your stool appear like (log it -- bring it to the doctor with you).

I'm not a doctor and for most of what you are complaining about what your seeing is bits of the undigested roughage you have eaten. The sprouts, and corn and some of the salsa are roughage and are meant to clean out your system. Roughage is the fiber part of of a balanced diet.


What I can't explain is your stool turning blue. This happens in infants when they are given antibiotics their Stool turns pink. It is probably not a big deal but worth checking in with your doctor just in case. You may have some type of problem with the dye food coloring they use for the blue that you need to be aware of.

There's a few possibilities. Something could be wrong with your intestines/pancreas or maybe your digestive enzymes are lacking. I'd see a doc.

I think maybe you just don't chew your food up well enough which might be causing your shit to come out looking like how it went in haha. Or maybe youre having trouble digesting things and could have something wrong. But I'm no doctor, and if it worries you id say you should see a pro. Good luck :) my inbox is always open
