TMI topic for August Sleevers (8/20)

[MemphisChik 27]

Sorry about the nature of this post, but need input. I was sleeved on 8/20. Two weeks later found out I have a clot between my stomach and liver that will take at least 3 months to dissolve. That aside, my recovery has gone well. I have even gotten back on track with daily bowel movements. The thing is, they are pretty dark, darker than I've ever seen before. Is this something I need to be concerned about? Consistency-wise, they're normal. Just an unusual dark greenish/black color.

Anyone else seeing this?

Appreciate any input you may have!

Medications

Several medications and Vitamin supplements can also lead to green stools. Individuals who routinely take laxatives, Iron supplements, medicines and Vitamins containing cholorophyll, and any medication or Vitamin that contain fructose can experience green bowel movements. Stool color should return to normal once use of these products is discontinued.

It could be Iron supplements. Iron supplements may have this effect. You should prob check with your doc of course to be in the safe side. Good luck!
