Green urine green poo on Chinese medicine for thyroid disease. ....

[Bakerstreet]

Awaiting thyroid test results. 

Started Chinese medicine. Chinese doctor pointed out problems with kidneys liver and heart is slowing down.  

Ended up spending time with friends in Edinburgh for a week.  Every time I went out for a meal I went out and got fruit.  Lots of fruit! 

I have been drinking lots of green tea, soda water with lemons and limes.  

Been eating lot's of mangoes too.

Also been eating coconuts as well!

First few days on Chinese medicine I have been peeing a lot and had healthy stools. 

Last few days just been pooing green poo with sweet corn or mango lumps that's what they look like followed by green poo and green urine. ..

I have been eating out and had roast chicken with corn on the cop and hand cooked chip's prawn a with lemon garlic butter. Gluten free breakfast.  Gluten free pancakes with salad and chickpeas healthy option tandoori curry. Mango lassi. Chai masala tea lots of soda water with lemons and limes. Haggis bon bons with whisky sauce....Mexican food

Lots of fruit....I'm a fruit addict lol

That's what I had in a week lol

Been taking digestive enzymes before going out to eat on a daily basis. 

I think a done a bit too much trying to keep healthy or could it be something else?

"Chinese medicine" doesn't say a lot. Just imagine someone from China talking about "western medicine" having a particular effect - when we are well aware of dozens, and possibly vaguely aware of some of the many thousands of medicines that exist.

Mind, I for one could read a detailed list of what your Chinese medicine is and still not have even the slightest idea of its possible effects. Others may be able to help more. Bu if you can tell people what it is you have been given, you are more likely to get a helpful response.

Chinese traditional herbal medicine sorry.  Lol

[helvella Administrator Thyroid UK in reply to Bakerstreet]

But you haven't said which medicines!

[Bakerstreet in reply to helvella]

Lol its got 15 herbs I can't pronounce in Chinese.  

[Bakerstreet in reply to Bakerstreet]

Bakerstreet,

I used to have a fast metabolism and it wasn't unusual to see undigested sweet corn, peas, tomato skins and mushrooms in my stools.  The herbs are probably colouring your urine and stools and if you're concerned you should discuss it with your herbalist.

Green poo can be a sign of intolerance or allergy. 

I always thought it only applies to babies,  green poo I mean. At some point when I was very intolerant to many things , eating rice made me poo green foam.

I cannot understand why people look to Chinese medication.  You do know they use ground up bits of endangered animals?  That alone should discourage you.  Its not as though it helps.

I love it when I hear people say you do know. ..no I don't know...anyway its helping me detox and remove a lot of rubbish from my system! Feel lighter and more relaxed.  conventional medicine is not any better! The Chinese traditional doctor is more helpful than the state nonsense health care system we have here! Bloody joke!! 

Chinese traditional doctor said it's normal to see different colours of poo as your body is cleaning out the system after a few weeks you will see it all go in back to normal! 

[Bakerstreet in reply to Bakerstreet]

My poos have gone back to normal

[Glynisrose in reply to Bakerstreet]

There is no su h thing as detox, it was invented by the health industry. 

[Bakerstreet in reply to Glynisrose]

Granted the body can clean itself.  However give it the right tools it needs to clean the body of heavy metals and toxins...yeah! 

Chinese medicine works and too many people poo poo alternative medicine which is a shame!

Each to their own!
