First off, I must stress that this question I have...

....is not "crazy". In fact, it's actually really important because it's related to my health.
Also, if you're squeamish you're probably not going to want to read this.






















Can corn cause green stool?

 

I've heard of corn going right through people and looking just like corn but I don't believe corn causes green stool specifically.

Stool turns green because it hasn't spent enough time in the intestines to process into the brown familiar color you are used to and a green vegetable rich diet can sometimes be the cause of stool being green. But corn specifically? I don't believe so.

But I'm sorry that must seem like a shitty situation.

 

i post one serious question--

 

Yes, yes it can.

Spoiler

 

I did take it seriously. Gosh sorry I made one ****ing pun.

 

The only thing I know about corn is that when you eat it, it comes out the same way it went in

 

How much corn did you eat that your first thought was "it must've been the corn"

 

All I know is that the first time I started getting them was around the same time I started putting corn in my dinner.

 

Eat more bran.

 

anything with a strong food dye in it (e.g. sports drinks) can also cause colored waste?

 

It can, but normally doesn't. Basically there would need to be enough after digestion to overpower the brown color from the bile. This could be not enough bile (normally because it went through the intestines too quickly) or because you consumed a crap ton of dye.
