Stomach pain, green stools 1-2 times/ month for ~1 year. not diet related. could this be related to over use of advil (ibuprofen)?

Yes: Advil (ibuprofen) commonly irritates the stomach.Try not taking it and see if the pain goes away.It is not related to green stools but can cause microscopic amounts of blood in the stool.
