Question 2

lots of gas, bloating and green stools. am taking a multi vitamin, the occasional antacid and codfish oil. could these be causing the green stools?

Accepted Answer

Likely basis either: things you are eating or malabsorption with bile in stool &amp; rapid transit. If you are not digesting fats well; fats in the colon feed colonic bacteria resulting in gas &amp; floating fecal material. Forget the multivitamin http://goo.gl/hTgfHM, antacid likely irrerelvant, codfish (like other oils) ? not being digested/absorbed. Both experiment &amp; find someone worthy of you trust to help sort out issues
