Concerns about Greenish Output and Stomach Pain

This topic is about someone who is two months post-surgery and has noticed some changes in their stoma output. They are experiencing greenish, slimy output, slight stomach pain, fatigue, and generally feeling unwell. They are trying to figure out if these symptoms are due to a minor bug or something more serious. Here are some helpful insights and advice from others who have been through similar experiences:

1. Everyone heals at their own pace. One person mentioned that it took them about a year to fully recover. They suggested regular walking to help rebuild strength.

2. Green output is often due to stomach bile, which can happen when the stomach is empty or after eating very little. This is commonly seen in the morning.

3. Dehydration can lead to greenish, watery output, fatigue, and body aches. To address this:
- Increase your fluid intake and keep a close eye on your hydration levels.
- Incorporate starchy foods like bread, rice, and potatoes into your diet at least three times a day. Eating small, frequent meals can also help thicken the output.
- If symptoms persist or worsen, consider getting lab work done. In cases of moderate-to-severe dehydration, IV fluids might be necessary.

4. The color of your output can often reflect your diet. Certain foods or drinks, such as white wine, can cause the output to turn green.

5. Brief abdominal pain might be due to gas bubbles and usually resolves on its own.

6. Persistent fatigue is often a sign of not being adequately hydrated, so make sure to prioritize rehydration.
