Rainbow Poop

  1. 1. Have you ever had rainbow poop?



Recommended Posts

This post might be a little TMI for some, but I'm on the pre-op diet and I am drinking a ton of crystal light. About a gallon a day, because I can't get myself to drink that much Water in a day. I feel like i'm forcing myself to throw up. Since I am only on liquid (liquid in, liquid out) the crystal light is turning my poop the color of the drink. I found this amusing and was wondering if anyone else was having an issue with this? I love crystal light but I'm afraid that it dieing my excriments might mean it's a little excess. Do you think I could have any issues because of the excess die?

Well, I'm no expert but it seems to me that the dye is the part that your body can't use so it has to pass it through...seems kind of normal but....maybe you can try to switch it up with some no sugar added juice or something like that if you are worried about it. The red die is probably the worst for seeing it on the other end. Maybe try drinking a glass of Water between the crystal light, or herbal tea? It's hard to say. Good luck with the liquids and banding soon to follow. :)

purple drinks make it green! Grape kool aid always did that to me... and fruit loops did it too. We used to make a rainbow cake as a kid (basically white cake mix divided with lots of food coloring and then dropped in the pan for a tye dyed looking cake...) and it would make poo either red or green. No biggie... just know that a lot of food coloring can do that.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
