What Causes Green Colored Stool In An Obese Person?
Question: im a fat dude, I weigh 300 pounds at 5-6. I started working out at planet fitness about 10 days ago, everyday and have noticed my stool is green. Could these be related? It's really the only thing that is different. I have no other symptoms.
Brief Answer:
Not related
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist. Green color of the stool may be normal if you have taken any supplements containing iron or any green leafy vegetables. And may be abnormal if there is any digestive problem like Gastrointestinal infection. But since you don't have any other symptoms or problem, it does not appear to be any infection. So I will advise you to recall the foods you have taken in last 10 days or check supplements or any medicine that may contain iron. I hope I have answered your query well. Wish you a good health
