The bile in the upper part of the intestine contains bilirubin and biliverdin and is yellowish green. When it reaches the colon, the biliverdin is reduced to bilirubin by the flora and the stool turns yellow. If the intestinal peristalsis is fast, the biliverdin is not reduced to bilirubin in time and appears green. Cold is one of the common causes of rapid bowel movement and green stools. Green stools from this cause may also have symptoms like a cold. If you only have green stools, keep your abdomen warm, especially at night, and you will recover in a few days. If you have symptoms of a cold, you should also treat the cold symptomatically.
If you have green stools, have a lot of stools, have a lot of water, and have diarrhea, go to the hospital and have your stools checked.
Stool green causes are.
1, dairy products are rich in iron, not fully absorbed in time, from the stool, is green stool.
2, fat in the digestion process, consuming less bile, excess bile is discharged from the stool, making the stool green.
3, inflammation in the intestinal tract or intestinal peristalsis is too fast, so that the bilirubin in the intestine is not yet converted from the stool, so that the stool is green.
Many breastfed children excrete green stool, this phenomenon is not a baby disease, but a normal physiological phenomenon.
The color of the stool is closely related to the chemical changes of bile. Bile is secreted by the liver, and the liver cells continuously secrete bile, which sinks into the hepatic duct and then into the duodenum via the common bile duct. The color of bile is related to the type and concentration of bile pigments contained in it, which can vary from golden yellow to dark green. The bile pigments include bilirubin and biliverdin, which are interconvertible.
The bile in the upper part of the small intestine contains bilirubin and biliverdin, which give the stool its yellow-green color. When the stool is pushed to the colon, biliverdin is converted to bilirubin by reduction, and then the stool is yellow. Breast-fed children’s stool is acidic, in the role of intestinal bacteria, part of the bilirubin into bilirubin, so that the discharge of the stool is light green, which is normal, while cow’s milk-fed children’s stool is alkaline, so that part of the fecal bilirubin can be further transformed into fecal bilirubin, fecal bilirubin is colorless, so the stool is light yellow.
