Brief Answer:
Be assured . Green color is not a cause for concern

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Welcome to HCM,

I understand your concern. If your stools are -

1. solid (as you've already mentioned)
2. do not have blood
3. if there is no pain while passing stools
4. stool frequency is less than 4 per day ,

Then you need not worry as only green color does not suggest the presence of a problem.

Hope this helps
Regards
Dr Samir Patil
