Wish I could help you out, but no clue on that one. Never experienced that, knock on wood.

I think green is ok. Check out the Mayo Clinic website. Take care.

Hello Anthony! I have that from time to time. My husband told me that that because of lack of protein? Don't worry because it will go away...

Thank you all for the replies. I have had it on and off for a while so I was just wondering about it. I know people get it when they are sick with certain colds infections. It makes sense cause although I am not sick I do have digestive problems. When your sick your digestion kind of acts up so maybe thats what it is.

Dr. Oz just had a special on bowel stools. I also read that what you eat changes the colors of your stool so if you eat alot of Salads, grapes and or drink koolaid etc it will change the color. They say to watch out for blood in your stool or, if the stool is black. I have divertculous and my stools change all the time. Mucus usually means to much fat. Mayo clinic is a great site to learn about it. hope this helped

GREEN STOOLS

If you have the occasional green stool -- don't panic! Most likely it is normal, and there is a perfectly reasonable explanation. Think about the foods you ate, any vitamins or supplements you took -- even if they're not green in color.

Stools can also appear green for physical reasons, and not just from what you've been eating. We think of a healthy stool as being brown. Bile that is secreted in the first part of the small intestine is actually green. As stool is digested and passed through thelarge intestine it is turned into a darker brown color.

If stool is still green by the time it is excreted, it could mean that it went through the large intestine too fast to be changed in color. This is often called "rapid transit" or "decreased colonic transit time" and diarrhea that is green in color could be the result.

Food and medicine are not the only reasons for green stool; a fast transit time can cause a stool to turn green. If your stool is passing too rapidly through your large intestine, it does not allow bile to break it down. Before being broken down by bile stool is green; bile turns the stool brown. When stool passes too quickly, bile is not allowed to break it down and it will appear green. If this continues for long periods of time or is combined with diarrhea, consult your doctor

Here is the link to the Bristol Stool Chart...it will give you tons of info on poopy. =)

Blue food coloring can cause green stool.

I'm glad I stopped by this post... my daughter has had tummy issues for quite sometime. I worry about her, but I'm thinking it is her very unhealthy eating habits. She asked me just last night why her stools were green... I giggled and said just be glad you are passing them now (she was really plugged up) and had to do a flush not long ago. She LOVES SOME CHEESE! So now she was concerned about the green stools. I asked her what she had been eating anything green, lots of green veggies, vitamins anything? She said no, but had been drinking benefiber per her doctor's orders and I told her that was probably the reason. She has finally kicked the cheese habit and has been eating better since seeing what I've been going through! Hopefully she will learn the easy way. I will let her know of your answers and to keep an eye on it and if it stays green maybe get back to her doctor. Thanks again for all the great info... Andrea
