A member asked:
For 1 week, i took vitamin c, d3 supplements and i suddenly noticed that my stool is now green. will the stool colour be back to normal as long as i take the supplements and a nutritional diet or is it something i have life threatening to have?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No significance: Poop color is derived from an intensely green product of bilirubin breakdown added to the debris during transit. It changes through yellows to browns depending on the action of gut germs feeding off the debris. Green suggests the poop moved through a bit faster or there was less germ activity. It has no significance.
