A member asked:

I have been eating a lot of green leafy foods, now i have green poop. is it bad? should i stop eating spinach, lettuce, and veggies? what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No : No, plz do not stop. Now, i believe in moderation even in moderation. Have some greens with each meal and vary them. Also make sure your chewing properly. It could be that you are not chewing enough and that's why your poop is so green...Hope this helps.
