A member asked:
I have had dark green stool on and off for 2 weeks and have not eaten anything that i believe would cause this?

Probably not: Most diarrheal illnesses related to contaminated food are short lived and happen soon after eating the food. However, sometimes diarrhea from contaminated food or water can last longer. If it persists beyond 3 weeks you should see your doctor. Make sure you are staying hydrated.
