Improper digestion and breakdown of bile.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for fhoosing HealthcareMagic for your query.
I am a Gastroenterologist and would be addressing your query.
As per you query-
Color of stool is given by bile which is produced by liver.Person having problem with digestion(As in your case the cause of excessive gas formation is improper digestion of food) bile salts are not properly digested and broken down hence giving green color to stool.

Suggestion-
Take a probiotic twice daily this will improve your overall digestion.As digestion will improve bile would be broken completely giving proper color to stools.

Take Nexium 40 mg twice daily for symptomatic relief in gases.

As of now there is no need to worry however in case if color does mot change even after taking above mentioned medicines,We could go for further testings.

Advice-
Follow suggestion.

Regards.
