This topic is about a person with an ileostomy who noticed that their pouch filled with green bile after eating just a banana for the day. They are curious if the banana could be the cause of this change.

Here are some helpful insights and advice:

- Seeing green-colored bile or output is quite normal for people with an ileostomy and usually isn't a cause for concern.
- The color of your output can change based on what you eat or drink:
1. Drinks with food dyes, like blue Powerade, can lead to noticeable color changes.
2. Foods with strong coloring, such as red velvet cake, can also affect the color of the pouch contents.
3. If you've had a CT scan with oral or IV contrast, it might pass through quickly and show up as a bright neon yellow in your output, and sometimes even appear on the scan itself.
- People with ileostomies often experience a range of normal output colors, including green, various shades of brown, swirls, and even neon tones from dyes, which are generally harmless and temporary.
