I have had green stool for over 3 wks now. i havent changed diet, started any new meds etc. i am embarrassed, dont want to see a dr. is this serious?

No : if you do not have any other symptoms. If you experience green stools without any other symptoms, the culprit is probably leafy green vegetables or food coloring. If you have other symptoms, such as recurring diarrhea or vomiting that doesn’t improve, this can indicate a medical condition like Crohn’s disease or irritable bowel syndrome. Talk to your doctor.
