What Causes Abdominal Bloating And Green Discolouration In Stool?

Considerations
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for submitting your question.
Helicobacter pylori infects the gastric mucosa (inside stomach lining) and can cause abdominal pain and other symptoms. It usually does not cause discoloration of the stool. It is more likely
that the stool color change is due to the juice, as you wisely suspect. Also, some medicines can cause stool color change. Stool color can also be influenced by transit time through the intestine and hydration status. It would be reasonable to observe the color of stool for a few more days and to monitor for development of any other associated symptoms. If the discoloration persists even after discontinuing the juice, you may consider seeing your physician for a physical examination.
Sincerely,
Dr Galamaga

Detailed Answer:
thank you for the additional question.
I think we can assume the green discoloration of your stool is related to the chlorophyll content of the drink for up to 48 hours. If you continue to have green discoloration if you're still be on that I would discuss this with your primary care physician.
Thanks again for sending your question.
Sincerely,
