TMI: too much info, but I've gotta know!

[Corryn]

Sorry if this is TMI, but I'm pretty health conscious and an RN, I really try and monitor what I eat and drink (organic, gluten free, etc) but on vacation I let go a little.
My question is, why the heck are my (and my family's) bowel movements LIME GREEN!?!?!?!?
If this happened once I wouldn't question it, just attribute it to some fluke, but this has happened the last few times I've come down here. We ate at the Cape May Seafood buffet last night, shared a churro and a pretzel at the parks afterward, and had pulled pork nachos at our resort in the afternoon after we landed at MCO.
Sorry if this is too much, but I can't figure it out, and like I said, this isn't the first time it's happened on a trip down here.

Btw, please no haters or snarky remarks, this is a legitimate question and the TMI in the thread title was ample warning.
I appreciate serious responses!
Thank you!

I don't know, but your post made me giggle (and I'm an RN too...I should be all serious and stuff! )

We didn't have any issues on our trip (well ok....I for sure didn't and the kids never said anything if they did!)

Dr. Google says it could be from the food moving too fast through your digestive tract and not being absorbed.

Maybe the extremely high fat content is moving it through much faster than the food you eat at home

grape juice?

Purple gatorade or kool aid can cause your poop to look like a St. Patrick's day parade!

Veggies from buffet? Maybe the seafood? Maybe just the fast change in your diet? I wouldn't worry about it.

Figured it out thanks!

Bile still left from food moving too fast thru digestive track maybe. Not enough time for it to break down.

I can give you my own TMI situation, which is last year we had free dining for 2 weeks and I've never had to visit the bathroom so much in my life. Not sure why my intestines seem to have such an adverse rxn to Disney dining. That being said, we're doing FD again and I'm bringing a bottle pepto in my purse. Dh thinks I'm nuts to want to relive that experience, but the food was so good!

Come on. You can't leave us hanging like that.

Closing, it was figured out.
