A member asked:
Why is my poop green all the time, even on the days when i don't eat a lot of veggies? ( most days i eat 8 servings of veggies)

Changed stool color: 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. Consider what you ate in the last few days, but if greenish color is unusual for you & persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, see your doctor.

Constipated for the past 2-3 mnths. Stool is green & sticky. I also have a lot of gas. Eat a lot of mixed veggies (frozen kind- not leafy greens)?
Everytime i eat I have to run to the bathroom too poop, a lot of times it's in middle of my meals or right after i eat. Should i be concerned?
What food would make my poop come out as small, hard, NEON GREEN pieces? did not eat anything blue but drank a lot of an artificial purple drink.
I have been eating a lot of green leafy foods, now I have green poop. Is it bad? Should i stop eating spinach, lettuce, and veggies? What should I do?
