What Causes Green Stool While Experiencing Indigestion?

default
Posted on Wed, 28 Sep 2016
Question: I've just noticed when I have a bowl movement the last two times the poop has a light green color to it and I wonder if that could be the result of a medication I'm taking or what. Any ideas on this condition?

Brief Answer:
Most likely due to indigestion of food properly.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to indigestion of food. Green colour of stool is due to content of undigested bile. This happens when food moves faster through intestine. This can be due to the medication you are taking (cholesterol plus). There is nothing worry about this.
If this is not getting improved then you can avoid cholesterol plus and see whether it is improving.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
