HI. Your history says you already had nausea and other symptoms before you took Pantoprazole. It looks you already had intestinal infection. Pantoprazole can not give green stools. Gatorade - a drink if infected can give rise or enhance the already existing disease giving green colored stools.
You need an antibiotic under your Doctor's supervision.
