Brief Answer:
Due to Constipation....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

1. Passing green stool might be related to:
- increased bowel movements(BM) (in those days when you can go)
- foods you consume

2. Having tight pain in lower abdomen might be related to constipation. Feces are accumulated in your colon and waiting to pass through BM for a few days. Thus, colon is extended more than usual, giving the sensation of tight pain in lower abdomen.

When your BM will be normal, you won't face such problems anymore.

I highly recommend to change your diet regimen:
- eat more fiber rich foods
- consume more water
- take laxatives for few days
- use enema to pass BM
- more physical activity to increase BM

If no progress, should consult with GI specialist and to schedule colonoscopy for further evaluations.

All the best!
