A member asked:
My wife wants to know what could cause her stool to be green?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Green is ok: typically lots of green leafy vegetables, and green colored drinks can make your stool more green, as well as iron supplements if she takes them. Sometimes if stool is loose it doesn't have time to get digested with the bilirubin it needs and can appear more green. Unless she is feeling poorly I wouldn't worry. Check her diet as above
