Hello,
I am 35 in two days, about a month ago I was hospitalized with an acute case of panc. One of the symptoms I had was lose green stools. That is actually what took me to the ER in the first place. Because they kept getting darker and darker. I have been home for a little over a month now. When I left the hospital I asked the doctor what I could and could not eat. He said "You should be able to eat what you want if you work it in slowly" So, I did that and I have been eating whatever I want which does include fried foods and what not....all the stuff that these post say that you shouldn't eat :-). Well the last three days or so my stool has started to turn green again. There is also a bit of pain in my left side. Nothing to terrible. I have had my gall bladder out years ago so that isn't an issue Since I was eating all the wrong things, could that be the cause of the green stools or should i go to the ER or call the doctor or just try to wait it out, I dont want to go to the ER on my bday

Your pancreas may not have been secreting sufficient amounts of the digestive enzymes because of your pancreatitis. Undigested fats, proteins and carbs tend to make your stool look green. Taking digestive enzyme supplements with every meal should remedy your situation. These supplements are available online or at your drug store.

Thanks for answering so quickly, I will be honest I was starting to freak out I mean you read stuff on panc. you get freaked out I mean there is talk of feeding tubes and all kinda stuff out there. You seen very knowledgeable, so I will ask you....I have a gf who likes to go out to eat and all that stuff, and I have always enjoyed that too. Could you give me some pointers on what to get when i go out stuff like that. And if it wouldn't be to much trouble, could you give me just a sample of what you eat during a typical day? It would really help and I would be very grateful.
Thank you again
Nate
