A member asked:
I was sick. given antibiotics by my doctor and an iv because dehydrated. stool turned green for a few days, then i became constipated. what's it mean?

Stool change: Antibiotic related bowel pattern and pigment change is not unusual. Often it causes more rapid transit through the intestines with diarrhea being common. It is quite common to miss a day or two of bm's after having more frequent and looser stools for a few days. Eventually your bowel movement pattern will normalize.
