Patient's question:
Once I drank honeysuckle water, I didn't have a bowel movement for several days, and then my stool was dark green. Now, for the past 5 months, my bowel movements have been dark green. I see that my son is otherwise normal, but I want to know what could be causing this and if it's affecting his health.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: I only mentioned the dark green stool and didn't ask other doctors for further assistance. I want to resolve the issue of the dark green stool.
Doctor's answer:
Dark stools need to be considered in several aspects, one of which is upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Besides that, it could be due to consuming foods containing melanin or pig blood, for example, some patients with gastric ulcers may have black stools. Advice: Dark stools can also occur if the food contains melanin. It is recommended to have a stool test done at the hospital. Doctor's inquiry: The above advice is for the question "Is the dark green stool caused by drinking honeysuckle water at that time?" It is hoped to assist you, and wish you health!
