What Causes Greenish Stools?

i did cocain for a couple of days not heavy or anything but drinking eating etc, and noticed today that my stool was green. i have drank a litter of antioxident tea and a few gatorade today to get my system back hydrated. just wondering if there is something i should worry about other than not doing cocain again.

Hi.
Read about you doing cocaine and drinking and eating and got green stools. You have taken anti-oxidant green tea, and a few gatorade today.
The commonest cause of green stool is gram negative intestinal infection and I would suggest you the following:
Get your stool checked and if infection is present ask your Doctor for a 5 day course of an antibiotic, probiotic, activated charcoal and so on.
I am sure you will be fine with this.
