General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

Sometimes green colour is considered a normal variant of stool. It can also turn green if you are eating a lot of green leafy vegetables or food where they have used green as a colouring agent.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
