Brief Answer:
Possible gastroenteritis or increased fruit and vegetables intake

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

The green colour diarrhea is possibly caused by increased intake of fiber rich foods, fruits and vegetables.
The rapid intestinal transit that happens leaves the fibers of fruits undigested makes stools look green. Especially the sugar found in fruits together with fibers can stimulate the intestinal passage.
I suppose you may be eating more fruits and vegetables than usual.
Another possibility is a viral gastroenteritis which can cause diarrhoea.
I can advise you to limit fruits and vegetables intake.
Eat toasted white bread,crackers or sticks.
Use enterogermina to establish the intestinal flora.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
