黄肠运动腹泻
在大便正常的颜色是棕色的任何阴影(通常是中等棕色),或褐色/绿色。当黄色/凳子出现面色苍白,而且没有明显的理由是,由于消费的食品,可能有以下疾病的人:
腹泻:腹泻是在改变粪便颜色最常见的原因。在腹泻的主要区别正常消化过程是,在腹泻的食物经过肠道如此之快,肠道细菌并没有转化为粪胆素呈现大便这是正常的棕色胆红素足够的时间。胃食管反流病(GERD)也是食物的迅速通过肠道消化过程中通过的疾病。
胆汁:在本病从肠到肝胆汁流量下降或停止。由于胆汁,粪便缺乏轻色。未消化食物颗粒可能会在凳子上。在胆汁,胆红素和胆汁酸盐可旅行进入血液,皮肤和尿液等造成黄疸,皮肤发痒和暗臭尿液进一步复杂化。胆汁淤积可能是由于内部或外部问题的肝脏。
肝病(肝内胆汁淤积症):在肝脏受损压缩小胆汁运河是流出的胆汁从肝脏细胞的原因。凳会出现黄色/苍白由于胆汁在肠道出现减少的数额。可能的原因 是酒精性肝炎,淀粉样变性病,癌症已经扩散到肝脏(肝转移),肝硬化,淋巴瘤,结节病,干燥综合征,肺结核,病毒性肝炎呕吐,恶心和压痛/右上角腹部疼痛 是主要的一肝病的常见症状。
胆囊(胆管)疾病:在胆管梗阻(通过它从肝脏进入肠道一)胆汁的流动会造成较少的粪便胆汁的外观,造成粪便黄色,苍白,甚至灰色。可能的原因包括胆囊结石,炎症(胆管炎),肿瘤(胆管癌)。抽筋右上角腹部和右肋骨下方疼痛是常见的症状在胆囊/胆管疾病。
胰腺疾病:胆管按下了胰头的扩大,从而导致胆汁从肝脏小肠阻塞流量。胰腺炎(胰腺的炎症)和胰腺囊肿或癌症的可能会导致这种情况出现。
腹部包块:胆管按下了腹部肿瘤(如纤维),从而导致胆汁淤积和黄色大便。大的肿瘤,可以检测和手,或腹胀感觉到。

绿色大便腹泻的成因
一般来说,绿色大便,是不是恐慌。可以有绿色粪便的原因很多。第一个也是最明显的原因是吃绿色食品。谁的人主要是消费绿色,叶状蔬菜中含有叶绿素在他的饭,这是正常的,他可能有绿色大便。
含铁丰富的早餐麦片等丰富的食物,红肉,菠菜,豆类等,并与暗紫色色如人工色素,在冰淇淋,汽水,果汁,饮料或其他使用,食品,黑色甘草,蔬菜捣 烂,叶菜类蔬菜像西兰花,生菜,菠菜,白菜,麦片,牛奶制品,糖果。的Kool - Aid,冰棍和明胶(果冻),也可能导致彩虹色的粪便。
深绿颜色可能持续到5天之后,上述食品的消费。补充材料或人工色素可能导致色彩明亮的绿色大便。
在婴儿的大便颜色是绿色的第一天,刚分娩后,后来由于母乳喂养。有些婴儿奶粉也能导致有绿色的婴儿粪便。
关于明确液体“饥饿疗法在儿童疾病”可能是导致绿色水样便。
有些药物和被人为色时口服补充,如铁补充剂,缩短运输时间泻药肠道(因为),藻类,叶绿素,儿童糖浆,维生素/矿物质补充剂,或最终任何其他药物或如果它包含果糖或山梨糖醇,可能会加快蠕动,可能会绿色的粪便。
腹泻及大便松散:可能有很多原因,大便松散,包括食物中毒(贾第虫和沙门氏菌感染往往造成绿色腹泻),轮状病毒感染,食物过敏,乳糖不耐症,果糖 吸收不良,腹腔疾病,克罗恩病,溃疡性结肠炎等,胃食管反流病,甲状腺毒症(升高,血液中的甲状腺激素的水平),通常是由于自身免疫性甲状腺疾病(甲亢)
受损(通常在糖尿病)肠道神经支配。
胆汁盐的吸收主要在小肠(回肠末端的最后部分)进入血液。胆汁受损原因重新吸收是:
*小肠炎症,主要是由于克罗恩病
*清除手术回肠末端
当担心绿色大便?
绿色大便,没有任何下列原因,如果单是正常的,不需要采取任何行动。如果发烧等症状,腹泻,便秘,体重减轻,全身不适或发现,你应该立即联系医生,因为可能会造成严重的根本障碍。

Adopting FODMAPS Programmes
Symptoms of Gastrointestinal disorder include abdominal pain, bloating, wind, reflux, diarrhoea and/or constipation. FODMAPs are a collection of small chain carbohydrates that are poorly absorbable in the body.
Fermentation of FODMAPs in the distal small and proximal large intestine stimulates such conditions in the bowel that lead to releasing gas, boost intestinal permeability, an inclination factor to growth of Crohn's disease.
FODMAPs are a group of poorly absorbed short-chain carbohydrates in the diet because of their osmotic consequences (diffusion of molecules through a semi-permeable membrane until both sides balanced), increase fecal output following colectomy and ileal pouch formation or ileorectal anastomosis (IRA).
Avoid the following FODMAPs for a period of at least 8 weeks. After 8 weeks your dietitian will give advice whether to start any of the FODMAP groups.

Diagnosing Stomach Problems with Stool Color
Dark-colored stools may be seen in platelet function disorders, iron deficiency anemia, cirrhosis, colorectal cancer, disseminated intravascular coagulation, peptic ulcer, or stomach cancer. Liver disease may include a yellow tone to the skin and whites of eyes (jaundice) and brownish urine.
The passage of black, tarry and foul-smelling stools; can be an indication of digested blood in the stool. Other causes are, iron deficiency anemia, cirrhosis, colorectal cancer, disseminated intravascular coagulation, peptic ulcer, or stomach cancer. In advanced cirrhosis (liver disease), the abdomen becomes distended with fluid and ruptured blood vessels in the stomach and esophagus cause bleeding. The person may vomit blood or pass black stools. Very dark stools, for example, may indicate an ulcerative lesion in the higher digestive tract.
Note: The ingestion of black licorice, lead, iron pills, Pepto-Bismol, or blueberries can all cause black stools or false melena. Stools should be tested for the presence of hidden blood.
Blood in the stool (Hematochezia) - the passage of red, or maroon- colored stools. Red or "frank" blood in the stool could be caused by hemorrhoids. Bloody stools can also be seen in amebiasis, anal fissures, or colorectal cancer. Bright red bleeding with bowel movements may be due to hemorrhoids; however, other conditions such as colonic polyps or tumors, diverticulosis, and abnormal small vessels called AVMs also may cause bleeding. Unusually, the bleeding is coming from the upper intestine or stomach. Bleeding such as you describe usually is evaluated by colonoscopy. Blood, as seen in the stool, can originate anywhere along the intestinal tract. A black stool usually means that the blood is coming from the upper part of the GI tract. At least 6 Tablespoons (or 200 milliliters) of blood must have been lost in order to cause passage of melena. Maroon-colored stools or bright red blood usually suggest that the blood is coming from large bowel or rectum. However, sometimes can be caused by massive upper GI tract bleeding. Some upper GI causes of bloody stools can also cause vomiting blood such as in peptic ulcer disease. The color of the stool can suggest the location of the bleeding however this is not reliable. A definitive diagnosis will require radiographic and/or endoscopic investigation.
- bleeding ulcer
- gastritis
- esophageal varices
- a tear in the esophagus from violent vomiting
- all the causes of black color stool
- diverticular bleeding
- vascular malformation
- intestinal infection (such as bacterial enterocolitis)
- inflammatory bowel disease
- tumor
- colon polyps or colon cancer
- all the causes of black or maroon color stool
- hemorrhoids
- anal fissures ("cracks" in the anal area)
Gray stools pale stools, putty or clay colored stools may be seen in hepatitis, gallbladder disorders, or malabsorption conditions. Bile salts in the stool excreted by the liver give it a normal brown color. Obstruction to bile flow out of the liver (you may see the word "cholestasis"), or liver infections like viral hepatitis (A, B, C, etc.), may produce clay colored stools. Possible causes for clay colored stool result from problems in the biliary system (the drainage system of the gallbladder, liver, and pancreas): Malabsorption problems can cause undigested fat in the stool (steatorrhea) which is characterized by foul smelling, light yellow to gray, greasy or frothy stools. This may also be caused by low bile output.
Artificial orange or yellow colorings, or other artificial colorings can product orange stools. Where on earth did you ever get the idea that bright yelloe stool indicates excessive bile involvement ? . Nothing coud be further from the truth. It's the opposite. It is the addition of bile into the intestinal tract as part of the digestive process that actually turns the stool brown. Orange stools may be due to certain medications. Beta-carotene (a form of vitamin A) may cause orange stools as a side effect so check any sources of vitamins or supplements, as well as intake of foods high in beta-carotene (carrots, sweet potatoes, etc.). Another possibility is if the stool is more pale-orange, it might indicate lack of bile salt (which gives stool a brownish color). Other sources are antacids containing aluminum hydroxide, barium from recent barium enema test, and hepatitis. Consider checking some baseline liver tests to evaluate proper liver function.
Green Stool
Stool starts out green , then turns bright yellow as it goes through the digestive tract. It is bile and bacteria that finally turn it brown. Yellow or green stools can indicate stool is passing through the digestive tract too rapidly not giving it a chance to change colour. Bright yellow stools can also indicate not enough bile / bilary obstruction. Green stools may be bacteria, or a green or blue food eaten. Green, blue, or yellow artificial colorings too.
Babies and Constipation
Constipation in babies can be treated at home quite successfully. First you need to know causes and treatments of constipation for regulating bowel movements. A lot of newborn babies normally have their first bowel movement within 24 hours after birth. Newborn babies will have a thick greenish black like stool called meconium in the first 24 to 36 hours after birth. After the first few days, the poop will be yellowish-orange in color and grainy in composition. Baby may be constipated if she does not have a bowel movement in three or more days, or if there is any blood in the stool.
You know the pattern of baby's bowel movements as the baby grows older and can recognize any future constipation. If you notice the stool to be very dry and hard like pebble, your baby may have constipation. If your baby has occasional bowel movements like once in 2 or 3 days or if baby makes a sound or stresses a lot during bowel movement, it does not necessarily indicate she is constipated. Grunting and struggling would go away after the baby stretches and loosens the anus muscles and has had many bowel movements. Consistency and number of stools varies from baby to baby. Some may have 3 or 5 stools a day or one bowel movement after every feeding. Some may have stools once every two days.
Possible causes of constipation in babies
Newborn babies:
- Newborn babies, have stools less than once a day with straining and difficulty to pass can be a sign of constipation
- Babies who pass dry, hard pebble like stools and pain during a bowel movement
- Some babies pull their legs up on abdomen when passing stool, even do grunting and it will turn babies face into red
- Abdominal discomfort along with hard and infrequent stools.
Introduction of solid foods:
- Low fiber Diets: When babies are introduced solid foods they often get constipation. The main reason behind is that their diet is mainly composed of low fiber diet like rice cereal, which is low in fiber
- Foods like banana, applesauce, potato and cereals may cause constipation
How to treat constipation in newborn babies?
- You can attempt giving one ounce of diluted prune juice once a day to treat constipation. Always consult with your pediatrician first.
- Offer high fiber foods such as prunes, apricots, pears, peaches, peas and plums.
- Try oatmeal cereal along with mashed prunes when baby has constipation.
- Juices like apple and prune is helpful to ease constipation in your infant.
Other treatments
Tummy massage to treat constipation: Massage your baby's belly. Place your hands at baby's belly button and rub in a circular motion. You can carry on this practice if the baby enjoys this and is relaxed and comfortable. This may facilitate the baby in a happy bowel movement.
Warm bath: A warm bath can sometimes make the baby comfortable and aid the stool to expel more easily. After you bath the baby, apply some baby oil or Vaseline around the outside of the baby's anus. Always ask your baby's doctor first before applying.
Bicycle exercise: You can lay your baby on its back and hold the legs and turn them in a quick cycling motion.
P.S.
It is always a good practice to consult a qualified pediatrician before applying any treatment.
What is Diarrhea? Normal & Loose/Excessive Bowel Movements (Diarrhea)
Diarrhea (Greek dia = through, rhein = flowing) means having more than three bowel movements, or passing more than 300g of watery stool daily (1).
NOTE: American English spelling is diarrhea, UK English spelling is diarrhoea.
What Is Not a Diarrhea?
- Ten diapers a day are usual in a 14 days old infant. Three soft bowel movements a day may be considered normal for adult on a fibre-rich diet. Stool soiling in children who are already toilet trained may be due to defective anus. Stool incontinence or mucus seeping in adults may be due to rectal inflammation, rectal prolapse, hemorrhoids, uncoordinated pelvic floor muscles, or anal muscle or nerve damage (2). In all mentioned cases, bowel movements tend to be of normal volume and consistency.
- Occasional single loose stool still isn't a diarrhea. Unripe fruits, green potatoes, spicy or hot food may all irritate the bowel. Insufficiently cooked or chewed food, a heavy sugary or fatty meal may be hard to digest. Wrong food combinations, like meat with sugar, may result in a loose stool. Food which is psychically rejected, after ingesting, might flow through the intestine quickly. Caffeine stimulates peristalsis, as can strong emotions like fear.
Normal Stool
- Stool frequency. A newborn passes its first stool in the first two days. During the first month, breast-fed babies usually have 8-10 stools per day, at one month 4 per day, at four months 2 per day, and a child at four years usually has 1 stool per day (7). Three stools per day down to 3 stools per week may be normal for children and adults on solid food.
- Stool quantity depends on the amount of ingested food and its fiber content. Two liters of mixed food yields about 200g of stool. The more fiber in the diet, the bulkier the stool.
- Stool consistency. A normal stool is semi-solid. Food fibers make stools soft as they tend to bind water. If not enough water is consumed, stools will be hard; on the other hand a lot (up to 20 liters/day) of water consumption will not result in a softer stool, since most of the water is absorbed in the intestine.
- The color of the stool in a healthy adult is any shade of brown, or even green. A green stool may originate from green vegetables, fruit juices, or iron supplements. A newborn's first stool (meconium) is greenish black. A black stool may come from licorice, iron supplements, or Pepto-Bismol. A red stool may originate from beetroot, tomato sauce, red Jelly-O, etc.
- Stool composition: 60-90% of water, the rest are fibers and other undigested substances, bacteria, shed intestinal cells, bile pigments, and minerals.
Mechanisms of Diarrhea
- Osmotic diarrhea. When a particular nutrient (solute) is not absorbed, it attracts water from blood vessels in the intestinal wall (where it is found in lower concentrations) into the intestinal hollow (with high concentrations). This process is called osmosis and occurs after ingestion of large amounts of unabsorbable solutes (e.g. sorbitol), or when nutrients stay within the intestine, because they can't be digested (in lack of digestive enzymes), or absorbed (in inflammation or surgical resection of a part of intestine).
- Secretory diarrhea. Unabsorbed fatty or bile acids trigger water secretion from colonic mucosa; toxins from some bacteria (E. coli, V. cholerae) or some drugs (quinine) have the same effect on the small intestinal mucosa. Secretory diarrhea is watery.
- Exudative diarrhea. From ulcerated intestinal mucosa (in shigellosis, amebiasis, ulcerative colitis), the blood, proteins and pus may exudate and appear in the stool. Exudative diarrhea is often of low volume.
- Motility diarrhea. In increased gut motility (psychic stress, irritant food, bacterial toxins, laxatives, hyperthyroidism) there is not enough time for adequate water and nutrient absorption, thus resulting in motility diarrhea.
- More than one mechanism is usually involved in each diarrheal event.
Diarrheal Stool
- The frequency of diarrheal stool may vary from three a day to twenty a day or more in extreme cases. Over 20 liters of water with electrolytes (potassium, sodium, magnesium) may be lost in one day in severe diarrhea. Diarrheal stool may be anything from clear liquid to soft formed mass.
- Water in diarrheal stools originates from food, unabsorbed digestive juices, or increased intestinal secretion. White diarrheal stool is from unabsorbed fats (>6g fats/day is abnormal), and yellow stool from lack of bile acids. Green diarrhea is from unabsorbed bile acids. Bloody diarrhea is from ulcerated colonic, or (rarely) small intestinal mucosa. Black colored diarrheal stool is from bleeding from the mouth, nose, throat, lungs, esophagus or stomach, or from antidiarrheal drug Pepto-Bismol. Other components of diarrheal stool: undigested substances, mucus, sugars (e.g. lactose), and microorganisms.
Is Diarrhea Harmful?
- In many cases, diarrhea is only an unpleasant event. However, a few liters of body water lost during diarrhea may lead to dehydration within 24 hours, may severely affect metabolism, muscles, nerves, heart, or consciousness, and may cause permanent damage of affected organs. About 2.2 million children die from diarrhea (mostly from dehydration) every year, mostly in countries where medical help is not easily accessible; malnourished children with lowered immunity or chronic diseases are at greatest risk (8). Repeating acute or chronic diarrhea may lead to malnutrition.
Causes of Diarrhea
Main causes of diarrhea are:
- Gastrointestinal infections: viruses (mostly Rotavirus), bacteria (e.g. Escherichia coli, Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella), parasites (e.g. Giardia, intestinal worms); primarily non-gastrointestinal infections (e.g. measles, tuberculosis)
- Inappropriate food (artificial sweeteners, overfeeding)
- Psychic factors
- Food intolerance: lactose intolerance, celiac disease, food allergies
- Medication: antibiotics;
- Toxins: pesticides, poisonous plants
- Intestinal disease: e.g. inflammatory bowel disease, lymphoma
- Other abdominal disease: liver, pancreatic, gallbladder disease
- Other causes: AIDS, hyperthyroidism, cystic fibrosis, competitive running, etc.
FODMAPS - Help With Diet
Symptoms of Gastrointestinal disorder include abdominal pain, bloating, wind, reflux, diarrhoea and/or constipation. FODMAPs are a collection of small chain carbohydrates that are poorly absorbable in the body. Fermentation of FODMAPs in the distal small and proximal large intestine stimulates such conditions in the bowel that lead to releasing gas, boost intestinal permeability, an inclination factor to growth of Crohn's disease. FODMAPs are a group of poorly absorbed short-chain carbohydrates in the diet because of their osmotic consequences (diffusion of molecules through a semi-permeable membrane until both sides balanced), increase fecal output following colectomy and ileal pouch formation or ileorectal anastomosis (IRA).
Causes of Green Stool
* Salmonella - can cause greenish stool (usually diarrhea)
* Giardia - can cause greenish stool (usually diarrhea)
* Swallowed postnasal drip - ie. from an upper respiratory disorder
* Intestinal disorder
* Starvation stools - usually in children; green watery stool caused by being on a liquid diet for a few days (e.g. if ill)
* See also dark stool, blood in stool, or stool color changes
* Normal breast-fed baby
* Gastroenteritis
* Certain foods
* Some cow milk formulas
Bowel Movement - Usual and Unusual

Improved Bowel Movement
If you've ever had a out of routine bowel movement, you only need to worry after some diagnosis. A bowel movement should be soft and easy to pass, though some people may have harder or softer stools than others. Stool should be brown or golden brown, be formed, have a texture similar to peanut butter, and have a size and shape similar to a sausage.

Normal Colors of Bowel Movement
Normal color of human feces is between light and dark shades of pown. The key factors like hydration, diet and atmosphere etc. cause a lot to the colors of human feces. In some situations, the color of the BM is not an indication of any dangerous ailment but it can be serious problem in some situations. People often mention color of human feces without giving attention to their overall health or body color.
Unusual Colors of Bowel Movement
There is not small range of colors for your fecal matter. Many unusual bowel movement colors indicate disturbance or serious problems in health of a human being. Some odd colors are given below.
- Black
- Clear
- Dark
- Green
- Orange
- Red
- White
- Yellow
Return Odd Bowel Movement Color to Normal
Odd bowel movement color is returned to a normal brownish color with the help of decreased stress, proper diet and hydration. This process also includes removal of undesired inflammations, virus activity, and bacteria. According to some physicians, consumption of butter, peanut, dark beer and chocolate in excess is also helpful.
