Welcome to, MyPoopIsGreen.  Never thought that you could discuss ‘poop’ so freely?  You would be surprised!  You would also be surprised over the crazy questions that you are a faced with on a day to day basis.

“…In the summer months,” the lady starts, “I notice that after eating all those summer fruits, I tend to get diarrhea.”  Good for you, I think. “And I know that part of it is because of the fruits - I mean I can eat 10 to 15 cherries in one sitting!  But then the diarrhea doesn’t go away for a while, even when I stop eating the fruits!”  “Do you continue to stay off the fruit?” I ask.   “Well, I’ve stopped eating the cherries, but by the time the diarrhea has stopped I then try eating some blueberries.  Then the diarrhea starts up again!”  And why would that possibly be?…  “And so then it wanes and sometimes I have to take some Imodium - but then I get constipated and then I try to eat some nectarines…” “Well, maybe you should considered cutting down on the fresh fruits that you eat, since it does seem to have an adverse affect on you.”  “But I’ve had all the tests done.  It can’t be that, because all the tests came back normal!” “Have  you been allergy tested?” “It can’t be allergies.  I’ve never been tested, but I’m only allergic to Penicillan.”  Because what do I know?  I’m merely the Medical Assistant!  Why are you even calling me, and taking time out of my day if you are going to diagnose yourself anyway?!? “I would just like you to ask the doctor, but I’m not doing anymore tests since they all come back normal.”  “Okay, but I think she’s going to tell you to cut back on the fruit.” “But it’s so good.”  “Well then you are going to have to suffer the adverse reaction that you have.” “Just ask the doctor…”

Can you guess what the doctor said?  Join us next time for…Abdominal Pain… dun-dun-duh!!!
