Question 3

can omeprazole cause green stool?

Accepted Answer

Probable coincidence: Green stool usually is caused by rapid transit - the stool moving through your bowels quickly.  It is most likely that this was coincidence, and there is no documented "scientific" reason for this that I am aware of....However this is not the first time i've heard this.  Eat plenty of fiber, drink plenty of water, and see if things don't work themselves out (no pun intended).

Question 4

Question 5

what reason green stool for 3 month baby?

Accepted Answer

Green is OK!: Baby poop is lots of different colors and can change from day to day for any baby. Amount of bile output varies. One day brown, one day yellow, one green.  The worrisome colors are dark black after the first few days of life (cuz your first poop is blackish meconium), red poop or pure white poop. as his digestive tract matures, consistency will also vary.  And yes, baby poop stinks!

Question 8

can antibiotics give a toddler bright green stool?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Green stools are usually due to bile--from the gallbladder--which has traveled too fast through the intestines to be broken down. Antibiotics will alter the bacteria that normally live in the gut and may speed up how fast stools pass through as well--so the "undigested" bile may give stools a green color.

Question 9

why am i having green stool after gallbladder removal?

Accepted Answer

It's bile: Before gallbladder removal, it stored bile and emptied when u are food. So the bile was mixed in with food. Now the bile is running through ur GI tract even without food hence change in color. It may get better over a yr or so. It is not harmful to u, however.
