What Causes Green Bowel Movement During Chemotherapy?
Hi. I am currently under going Chemotherapy for stage 3A breast cancer. I just had my second round of Taxol this past Tues. I just went to the restroom and my stool is green. I am a bit constipated, so I know it is not diarrhea. I am also positive it is not any green leafy veg. or to much iron. I have not been eating green leafy veg. and I am actually craving protein, so more chicken than anything else. No jello, so I am not sure what it could be. Any suggestions?

HI
Well come to HCM
Thank for choosing HCM, the most common cause of green stool is less food taken, it happens in case of starvation, beside this it can be due to viral infection but it is very rare condition, I would advise you not to worry about this because it is not due to the chemotherapy neither it is due to the history of malignancy that you have, hope this information helps.
