Neon green mucus on stool??


Question: Ok, I know this is a bit disgusting but I had to use the washroom and after making a bowel movement I went to wipe and noticed on my toilet paper a glob of very neon green mucus (and I literally mean neon green, not a normal color I've ever seen come out of me). Curious, I peeked after getting up at my stool before flushing and it was coated in the neon green mucus but appeared to be normal color underneath.

What would cause something like that to happen? If it helps I had two 32oz Grape Powerades yesterday (one at noon and one at 3 pm) and later that evening around 11 pm I had a 20 oz Vault Red Blitz soda (the only reason I mention them is because it's the only thing out of the ordinary that I had to eat yesterday)

Thanks in advance for your answer

Answers: If you dilute purple dye, it does have traces of green in it. If it happens again, I would see a Dr. seeing as mucus in your stool can be a sign of something serious. But other then that I think you are fine.

I once spent all day eating blueberry licorice sticks and pooped blue the next day, and another time I ate several jars of pickled beets and forgot about it. Then two days later it looked like I was pooping blood. I freaked out until someone reminded me of the beets.
Any lettuce or veggies? This will happen at times when eating a lot of veggies.

Most likely this is from the food colorings in the drinks you consumed. I remember my kids ate the cereal Booberry and had green stools, lol. However, a lot of mucus in your stool could be signs of bowel irritation or other problem, and if it continues you should see your doctor.
