What Causes Green And Loose Bowels Post Appendectomy?

Since having an appendectomy 7 weeks ago, My surgeon wanted me to take milk of mag. I took it for several weeks and especially when I would have trouble going. A few days after surgery my bowl movement was loose green with the consistancy of turnip greens. ( sorry ) . Now, my bowels are like water at times and it is a green color almost all the time. What could be causing this. I am on a low carb diet and really dont eat alot of green vegetables.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you are on antibiotic must have been given in post surgical phase so such diarrhea is very likely and this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps take care and have a nice day.
