A member asked:

I have been pooping green for about a week now. is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: green poop can be normal. it could be from having too many green leafy vegetables. it could also be from your poop going through your intestines too fast. It usually turns brown in the large intestine. it could be from iron supplements. go to see your doctor and have an appropriate conversation with physical and history.
