Depends: Sometimes is the bile juice, a normal secretion of your digestive tube, that gives this color to your stool. If you have no symptoms  whatsoevere probably this is the reason.

Question 8

why is my bowel movement dark green? is this bad?

Accepted Answer

Green Stool: Any conditions which cause the stool to transit too rapidly through the intestines can lead to green, moist stool. On the other hand eating green leafy vegetables can lead to green stool.  Green cabbage, lettuce, peas, cabbage, spinach, broccoli, green salad, green leaves, celery & green beans as well as food that contains green food coloring can lead to green stool. Some meds can change stool &gt;.

Question 9

what's it mean when your bowel movement is bright green?

Accepted Answer

Rapid Transit: Bright green stool can be caused by many things but most of the time is due to the rapid movement of stool through the colon. The color of stool changes from green (bile) to yellow-brown as it passes through the colon. Any factor which leads to an increase passage of stools through the colon can prevent the change of coloring, hence the green stool. Ex:  diarrhea after taking antibiotics.

Question 10

when your bowel movement is green color what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Not much.: Stool starts out green in the small bowel, and bacteria turn it brown. Rapid transit of stool through the intestines, or a change in bacterial populations, can prevent this from occurring.
