Some weird shit

Geoffke · Dec 14, 2005

This is a warning for all those that are eating now behind your
pc.
Stop reading then. lol.
For a long time now, I'm allergic to lactose and possible other stuff.
Almost a year ago I noticed that my shit was pale, light yellow

It continued for a couple day's, I freaked out because I thought my liver was failing.
The doc checked me and he said it was normal, and nothing to worry about.
He said it was something in my nutrition causing it.
The pale collor went away a couple day's later.
Now, I'm having for a few months that pale, collor.
I have often diarrhea.

I'm not drinking any milk, and I try to eliminate all lactose, because I thought
that was the cause of all my problems.
I quit the shakes and replaced it by eggs.
So now I'm eating tuna,rice, chicken and eggs.
And the pale shit is still there!
I have lost a lot of musclemass, people ask me if I'm sick.

If I eat 2 tiny meals a day, then everthing goes normal after a few weeks.
But I love bodybuilding so much, don't think I can be happy without the sport.
I'm sure if I have to quit it it's back on rec.drugs to forget everthing.

Need some advice

I'll give you a general idea of what it could be and maybe someone else
who's in the med. field can jump in. I've had this too for about a week.
It cleared up. It's got something to do with your bile. The bile salts
excreted by the liver gives your stool the brown color. Maybe some sort
of obstruction or infection I'm not sure.

I've always been told that the brown color on of your stool is the dead tissue from the body ie blood.

Anyway.... from what I read you have problems with your shit and diarrhea to boot. Lactose intolerant... ok.

I'm lactose intolerant also. I got all that out of my diet. But then I ordered egg protein. Holy Mother of God... it was like I was on straight milk again. A long time went by and couldn't figure out what in my diet caused it. Well while we were moving into the new house, I looked at the egg protein powder and had oh about 3 pounds left of it. I was sooo tired of the egg protein that I threw it out. dohhhh! problem went away...it was the egg protein powder.

From now on...I'll spend the extra and get the CFM

Check again. Bile helps in the digestiing of food and he's saying that he's
losing muscle. that to me means he's not taking in nutients. So, somethings
wrong with his digestive system. I would think. I had this problem for a
week. If he has an on going problem, I'd go get a second opinion just in
case it's serious.
. You may also have a bacterial infection now that I think about it. Best to get checked
out again.

I think we all know that bile digests food. I'll stand by the smell and color of poop is dead tissue.

Thanks anyway

As long as you've been checked out and are in good health, who cares what color your shit is? Unless it's causing you discomfort in some way other than mental distress, and your doctor says that you are okay, I wouldn't worry about it.
Try playing around with your diet, as I suspect this is the cause. Maybe you aren't getting enough fiber. Or not enough veggies. Who knows. Point is that if you are not sick from it don't freak out and quit eating or lifting, what would be the point of that. Then you'd just have light colored shit when you DID eat, and you'd be small.
