    Ari Schwartz: Dark Lord of the SnarkTracie Egan Morrissey

    Eh. After the kinds of things I've seen out of my dog's ass, nothing surprises me anymore.

    Also, at this point in my life with IBS, as long as it ain't blood I couldn't care less. Any color but red is my motto for poop.

      FYI, as a fellow IBS sufferer, let me save you a future heart attack. If you see a bunch of bright red, relax. I mean call your dr. and have it checked out, but bright red means you are literally butt hurt. Maroon means go to the ER, you bleeding in the stomach. Good luck.

    My son once vomited radioactive green all over his bed. I took him to the ER, but while we waited, he confessed he'd eaten an entire container of lime green Play Doh.

      That is why my mom made all of my play-doh. I loved salty things and would just sit there and nibble on it no matter how bad she told me it was for me.

      Cymbalta does, or used to, do that. Doesn't help that it generally makes you nauseous to start with.

    Sorry— can't you post this to Cafe Mom? This is easily the most self-indulgent post on jezebel in a long time.

    I do not care about your kid's shit. Call a fucking doctor.

    Blue poop is from grossly dyed blue food. It's no mystery. You eat something dyed disgustingly blue, your shit is blue. Remember Tongue splashers?

    I used to eat and swallow many pieces of one color JUST to turn my shit colors when I was a kid. Blue and green worked best. Red was shocking.

    The only natural food that I have found to have a similar effect is beets. That shit even gets your pee.

      I love beets, and it's true, the effect is hilarious.

      Yeah I remember I ate some blue colored taffy and my poop was blue. Pretty neat I think.

    One time our dog ate a box of crayons and dumped it out later that day. It was the prettiest pile of crap I think I have ever seen... All the colors of the rainbow were represented.

      A friend's dog once at an entire bag of individually wrapped Rolos. He was fine—not enough actual chocolate in those things to be dangerous to a biggish dog. But for days after, his poop was so festively silver and gold.

      A friend's dog at a rubik's cube once. Same reaction - colorful poop. It's hard to get too worried about dogs when they eat garden hoses, grill covers and assorted things your kids have left on the floor.

      I ate a shitload of dark chocolate M&Ms one time while I was still nursing WeePiglet, and she shit blue for two full days. Sorry, kid! Since I am a reasonably intelligent woman, I did NOT photograph it, freak the fuck out, and post it on the internet. I thought about the probable causes, said "aha!" and that was that.

      You're welcome, everyone.

        But . . . will she believe you when/if you tell her this story? :-) My kids would demand proof then go about eating all the blue M&Ms for days.

        I remember once, decades ago, when my toddler sister got carsick and thew up all over the place. Not only was it kind of red from the Kool-Aid she drank, we also learned that she didn't chew her goddamn pasta, but rather swallowed it whole. There were dozens of complete pieces of un-chewed macaroni.

          I can handle poop talk. Barf talk, not as much.
