Q: past couple days my stool is green what could it be. could it be an infection?

: The color of stool varies widely, and is most dependent upon what was eaten in the diet. Having said that, the color of the stool does not matter much unless the stool is black, red, or lacking any color at all. Green stool can be normal. Good luck.
