A member asked:
I had a ct scan with oral and iv contrast two days ago. ever since i've been having diarrhea and it's been a light to dark green color. ?

Could be the oral..: ..Contrast which can have a laxative effect. The color of the bowel movement is related to the more rapid movement of bile through the colon (the diarrhea) and thus less time for the bacteria of the colon to process it into the more normal brownish tones.
