A member asked:
What's up with a silvery green color stool?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stool color: People attribute a lot of importance to their stool color, when in actuality it often reflects a combination of what they are eating, and what their gut bacteria are metabolizing. Unless your stools are pale and chalky, black and tarry, or bloody, I wouldn't be too concerned.
