Get it checked: If symptoms persist past the 2 weeks period you might need to have stool testing Usually infection of the bowel alter the friendly bacterial composition there, and that is why the stool might change in colour. Usually symptoms settle with time, Probiotics might help as well Regards

Green stool + blood: The color of stool varies with foods, speed of emptying of the GI tract, medications & supplements ingested, gut flora (unique for each individual), additives (like blood), subtractions (like absent bile), infection, inflammation, & other factors. Blood is never "normal" and deserves evaluation.
