I got the Boo Batter Ice Cream a week ago, at about 6pm on October 19th. It tasted like pure food coloring, but I was kind of expecting that tbh so I didn't think anything of it. Last night (October 26th) at about 1pm, I got what felt like a stomach cramp and it got worse very quickly, so I went home and laid down with a heat pad on my stomach to see if that would help. This morning (October 27th), at about 7am, I pooped and it had a green hue to it. It looked maybe the color of green beans or peas, so I tried to brainstorm with my family anything that color I'd eaten in the past couple days. We came up with nothing. About 20 minutes later, I remembered that I'd had Boo Batter exactly 7 days ago and that was probably why. My family agreed but said it was strange that it had stayed in my gut without any appearance for a week though. I looked up green poop, and the top cause was green, blue, or purple food coloring, so I was relieved it wasn't an infection and carried on with my day. Throughout the day, I've had to poop really bad all day and each time I go to the bathroom it's an even darker shade of green than the time before. Luckily, the texture isn't different than normal, but having to go that frequently and the poop increasing in darkness are both concerning. I looked up side effects of eating Boo Batter Ice Cream, and other people agreed that it had made their poop blue or green, which I think should at least have a warning in-store if it's that common. However, everyone else I saw said it came out within the normal digestion time of the ice cream, sometimes harmlessly, sometimes painfully. This makes me concerned that something else may have been in that batch of ice cream that could have made things fail to digest properly. I have occasional constipation and digestive issues, but I'd been pooping normally this past week aside from today, and seven full days seems like a lot more than an off day for digestion. | Symptoms: Nausea, Constipation, Other, Cramps, Green Stool
