Hi,
Melania with loose greenish poop is due to side effect of the drug. Magnesium in the can lead to loose stools. The green color being due to accompanying pathogen. You need to have specific antibiotic to treat the infection. When there is Aluminum along with it, the loose motions can be controlled.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
