What Causes Green Stool?
grade fever. Feeling better but the stool is still green. The only thing outsude the normal for me was some cupcakes from Walmart.
For how long have the stool been green?
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Stools colors are largely determined by the content of our meals. I will suggest that you observe this again to make sure it is really green irrespective of what you take. In most cases, this resolves spontaneously and within a few days.
As for fever, I will suggest that you take your temperature each time you feel that way or at least 3times in a day. That way, I can review the reading stop tell whether something is really wrong or you are just not feeling great.
At 61, I suppose you have had your screening colonoscopies as well. If not, I strong recommend and encourage you to follow up with your gastroenterologist on that.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up and ask for more information or clarifications if need be.
Viruses cause diarrhea and not green stools!

Hi,
A viral infection would likely cause diarrhea and not green stools. Stool color is largely influenced by what we eat. That is why observing for a few days would allow be helpful in making the call.
Do you have abdominal cramps? Watery stools? Vomiting? These would be more suggestive of a virus.
I hope this helps. I wish you well and look forward getting updates from you on this.
