Why Does Poop Changes Color?
Question: Hi my daughter 16 years of age her poop looks light green colour ..yesterday she ate ragi ..and millet dosas...she has issues of gas today...is it normal
Brief Answer:
Hi kindly read below
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Sometime excess ragi and certain millets do cause green or high coloured stools and ragi in some individuals does cause stomach bloating and flatulence. Kindly do not worry as long as no loose stools or fever. Considering the gas issues I would recommend to avoid oily spicy hot foods until symptoms relieve and follow bland diet and plenty oral fluids. Incase severe gas I would recommend junior lanzol 30mg once a day half hour before food for 2 days.
Regards.
