The green color is due to bile.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM, The green color is due to bile. He is getting bilious vomiting due to indigestion.
If the nausea, diarrhea and vomiting are not improving, please see a doctor. But if he is slowly improving, give him OTP medication like liquid antacids and digestive enzymes till he gets better. You can continue immodium as and when needed.
You can revert back with further queries.
