Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of frequent bowel movements and passing of green stool. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like indigestion , gastritis, peptic ulcer , gastroenteritis , anxiety disorder , food poisoning , irritable bowel syndrome or lactose intolerance. Need not to worry. You should avoid taking outside food. I would suggest you to eat light and non spicy , avoid dairy products , avoid food like nuts and sea food and take light walk after every meal . Consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order endoscopy , stool test along with ultrasound . Doctor may prescribe omeprazole , ornidazole along with anti inflammatory .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
