Mystery revealed, dentist, & green stuff

Post by celia »

Just realized that I was taking Arnica daily since my first dentist visit last Tuesday until Friday. The homeopathic remedy has sugar and lactose! Eeek! No wonder I was in total pain by Friday night. It probably wasn't just the food I ate on Friday. A painful reminder to read labels each and every time!

I felt a big lift after getting the mercury out of the first quadrant of my mouth. But now I don't know if it was the removal of the mercury or the euphoria of the sugar/lactose sneaking into my body...hmmmm. I'll see how I feel after quadrant two which won' t be done until after our vacation. I have a wonderful holistic dentist. He's so compassionate and supportive. I feel very lucky.

On to one of our favorites subjects, my poop has turned an almost fluroscent green. Like a martian. It must be from all the green vegetables and chlorella I am eating/taking. It doesn't look like I imagine bile would look so I don't think it's 'bad.' I read online that it can happen from green food. But if you have any words of wisdom about green poop, please let me know.

My husband and I sent off our tests to Dr. Fine today. I'm getting the whole shebang (gluten panel) and he's just getting the one gluten intolerance test. The results of my recent blood test for Celiac, the standard variety, STILL hasn't come back. But it will probably be normal so I decided not to keep waiting to go forward with the new testing.

My thoughts are with everyone. It seems like so many are going through so much. Don't lose heart!

Be well, Celia
I beleive in magic!

Fluroesent green - (like a) martian!!!!!!!! :ROFL: :ROFL: Another "loving name" for our :poopbanana:

Seriously, I would guess it is from the greens or a vitimin or medication you're taking.

At least you and your husband will have some of your questions answered soon.

Love,
Mars

A lot of meds contain lactose, or dairy derivatives. It seems that most of them contain either dairy, wheat, or corn derivatives.

I would guess that the green pigmentation is coming from the chlorella.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
