See below 1st.: There can be many reasons that stool appears green. The most obvious reason for a stool to be green is from eating green foods. Green, leafy vegetables contain chlorophyll, which could be coloring stool green. Foods w/dark purple coloring, such as kool-aid, popsicles, and gelatin (jell-o), can also result in greenish/green stools. Iron supplements can cause this and foods eaten in st. Patrick's.
