No symptoms other than green stool - #10209
For the last three days, I have had a greens tool. I do not have a fever, stomach pain, nausea etc. I have not eaten anything such as dark green vegetables or anything with dyes. I am drinking plenty of water also. Since I am otherwise healthy, how do I get rid of this? Should I worry?

Doctors’ responses
Continue drinking water 2-3 ltrs daily
1) Cap. Sporolac DS – 1 capsule twice daily × 5 days (Supports healthy gut flora and helps normalize stool color/consistency)
Keep a stool diary noting color for 3-6 days
Investigation: Stool RE and ME
In most of cases green stool is harmless if 1 you are not having pain fever or diarrhea 2 you are hydrated 3 You didn’t have dark green veggies Reason for your green stool 1 )fast digestion - your bile is not getting digested giving your stool green colour 2)if you have taken any antibiotics recently,due to change in gut bacteria it can cause change of stool color 3) high magnesium rich diet
Urgently visit doctor If your complaint continue for more than 7 days Fever , diarrhea or weight loss Mucus or blood in stool
Continue observing your stool for few days and you can take probiotic food like yogurt or curd
Hello dear Please be aware See as per my clinical experience green stools are otherwise harness But keep on observing and get stool culture done for confirmation Regards
