What Causes Green Stool After Drinking Coffee?

default
Posted on Wed, 30 Aug 2017
Question: In the past few days when I have had a bowel movement, my stool has been green. I do have gallstones, but no pain. After I started drinking a cup or two of brewed coffee, this started. Maybe a coincidence. Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Green Stool

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome

I appreciate your concern

Greenish color of the stool transiently is not pathological. It can occur due to food ingredients including coffee and is normal.

If you are worried then a stool for routine exam plus ova /parasites can be done in consultation with your doctor.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
