Why is my 3 year old pooping lime green diarrhea?

Most likely there is an infection. Keep the baby well hydrated and continue to nurse. A soy based or lactose free formula may be used if bottle fed, until the symptoms resolve. Monitor temperature and discuss COVID-19 testing with your Pediatrician. Watch for signs of lethargy, less urine output, and fever. Please see your Pediatrician.

Stool color comes from the ultra green bile added in transit which lightens to go through shades of yellow or brown based on the time it takes to move through the gut. Lime green just means it went through fast. The diarrhea is likely a simple gut virus that will pass if you keep the kid hydrated. Feed it applesauce, bananas and bread and these should slow things down. If worrisome see the doc
