What Could Cause Green Color Bile Like Tissue In Stool Of A Toddler?
Question: my 3 year old daughter .. tissue showing a completely light green colour.. looks she do not have any stomach pain and she is very active
Brief Answer:
Could be due to food
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This seems to be due to some food or beverage or supplement like iron. She could have ingested a food that is the color. Another reason is presence of bile in stools that gives it the green color. In the absence of diarrhea, pain abdomen, fever etc., there is no reason to worry.
Observe her stool color for 24 hours. It should normalize in next few poops. If it does not then you can see a doctor.
Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
