Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking

The use of tumeric and Budesonid it's not related to your greenish color of stools.
They doesn't have side effects when you use them together.
In my opinion you should not worry for your situation at the moment

The tumeric may increase your risk for diarrhea and increased bleeding.Soo contact your doctor for the continued use of it.
