What Causes Blue Colored Bowel Movements?
I just excreted blue feces, specifically on all blue others normal (same bowel movement). Haven t been feeling well for 2 days ie sore/scratchy throat, fatigue. Just came back from cruise to Europe two days ago where I felt completely fine. Thoughts? Thank you

Hello,
Blue colour faeces may be due to the intake of food in blue or additives with blue. Other possibilities like hepatic or gallbladder problem. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet Pantoprazole before breakfast for one week.
Drink plenty of water, avoid spicy food and alcohol. Get stool examination and microscopy. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
