Can too much sugar cause diarrhea??
Can consuming too much sugar in a short amount of time cause diarrhea? How about food coloring?
I drank a ton of grape soda yesterday. I know, bad, bad. It was on sale and I was thirsty and poor. I make bad shopping decisions under these circumstances.
Anyway, I just had green diarrhea, which scared the crap out of me. :D
I did some internet searching and read that dark purple food coloring can cause green stools. But what about the diarrhea?
The grape soda was the only thing I consumed that was out of the ordinary and I'm not under a huge amount of stress (which can cause me GI distress.)
Incidentally, I'm now making a conscious effort to limit my sugar. I've been scared straight.

Actually you know what? This thread has brought back childhood memories. I remember having green diarrhea after eating a bag of fairy floss (cotton candy) when I was about 8 years old.
Cotton Candy is all sugar......so yes.......it's probably too much sugar that gave you the woopsies!
