Hi,

Green color stools may be intake of foods that contain green color food additives or taking of green leafy vegetables or it may be due to infection or irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel problems or malabsorption syndrome etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Take soft diet , avoid spicy food and alcohol. Avoid smoking. avoid gluten contain food.If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query.
