A member asked:

Why is my poop green even though i haven't eaten anything green (vegtables)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably from diet: The color of your stool without a change in your bowl movement pattern or abdominal discomfort and blood in stool is usually benign.If concerned as for stool analysis.
