Brief Answer:
Green stool
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
Green stools is a normal variant if the person eats food rich in green leafy vegetables or food with colouring agent.
The second common reason for green stools is when one is having diarrhea, here the stools passes through the intestine quickly and does not mix with bile.
Here is what I recommend
1. Stop eating salad for 4 days, notice the change in colour of stools
2. If the stools persists to be green please get a stool routine test along with liver function test done
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
