Would valerian root or melatonin cause dark green feces?
Valerian root is a holistic solution to anxiety, sleeping better, and has a calming effect on the body (many actors take it for stage fright). It does not turn putrefied bile (feces) green. There are five reasons for green feces.
1) Eating an excess of green-leafy vegetables (as in a vegan diet) can cause green bowel movements, but U will see undigested leaf particulates that give it away.
2) If a small piece of feces comes out that is green, as in 'chunks' of green within larger normal petrified bile (causes the brown color), it can be a piece 'stuck' in a curve that grew a heavy dose of Bacteria over a few weeks (in a corner). IF YOU EAT A LOT OF SMALL MEALS THIS WILL HAPPEN MORE OFTEN >> You finally eat a large meal and the mass unsticks the smaller green mass and molds it into the stool as it flows along in a peristalsis movement (smooth muscle contractions). Almost 50% of what comes out is living and dead bacteria, the rest is fiber and non-digestible food particles, gum, quarters, etc. (No, I won't explain.) The last six feet of the alimentary canal begins with the ascending colon (two feet long) starting just after your appendix, then it turns and goes across the lower abdomen two feet and is called the transverse colon (usually 3 or 4 inches above the navel), then it turns downward for two feet as the ascending colon, then takes another sharp turn and is called the sigmoid colon (for 6 to 8 inches as it lines up with the center of the body and rectum), then the final approach (pun), is a rectum about 10 inches long that connects to the anus. If you do not have a diet of high-fiber you can get food literally stuck in these last few sharp curves for months! They do turn green after a while because of excess food and water passing by them, thus Bacteria city!
3) If you eat an entire bag of real black licorice it will not only come out dark green but it will act as a stool softener (a great holistic helper the natural way).
4) If it continues to be green day after day you should see a doctor, as there are internal problems (like excess bile secretions, but they are rare).
5) Sometimes a child will consume large amounts of food with green food coloring, and if it is enough - green stool.
