Detailed Answer:
hi.
thanks for posting query at HCM.

presentation of green colored stool and lower central abdominal pain since three days.

firstly, green color is usually a "NORM". green leafy vegetables, flavored food/drinks may lead to green colored stool.

abdominal pain since last three days maybe due to indigestion, constipation,or infection. since you lack fever and diarrhea so infection is least likely.

for indigestion ( discomfort) dominant symptom: urea breath test for H.pylori. OR you may get stool antigen test.
Stool test for leukocytes is advised(especially if you have traveling history)

remedy for gas/bloating symptom: your advised to take simethicone tablets for 1 to 2 weeks after discussing with your physician. Avoid eating stomach full, junk food. Eat your evening meal 2 to 3 hours before going to bed.

for constipation ( if dominant):
advice(s):

- thrice daily , take two tea spoon (or one big spoon) ispagula with 200 to 300 mL water
-warm water intake as much as possible
- eat small meals (rich in fiber)
-eat plentiful "fresh oranges" and "pear "
- AVOID junk food(NO burger , pizza) altogether
- drink hot (warm) water mixed with few drops of lemon on empty stomach to aid in bowel movement
- avoid beverages / alcohol/ soft drinks
- avoid spicy food
- use of olive edible oil (raw) 2 teaspoon daily ingestion is encouraged

follow above points for few days.
wish you good health and if NO improvement; fix an appointment with a gastroenterologist.
