hello malinda
there are many reasons for green stools like Stool color is heavily influenced by diet. A high intake of green vegetables, such as broccoli or cabbage, can cause green stools, as can foods artificially colored with green dye, including some ice creams, fruit juices, sodas and breakfast cereals. Oddly, purple and blue food coloring may also cause green stools in children. Limiting intake of green foods and artificial dyes for a few days can determine if dietary causes are responsible for your child's green stool.
Iron supplements are a common cause of green stools, and artificially colored vitamin supplements, as well as those that contain sorbitol or fructose may also cause a temporary change in stool color. Laxatives may cause green stools due to their speeding up of bowel activity
Digestive problems that cause bile to pass more quickly through the intestines trigger green stools because the bile does not have time to transition from green to yellow to brown. Some disorders that may cause shortened bowel transit time include
gastroesophageal reflux disease, thyrotoxicosis associated with
hyperthyroidism, diarrhea due to food poisoning, infection, allergies, malabsorption,
celiac disease,
ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Impaired re-absorption of bile due to
intestinal inflammation or removal of the
terminal ileum, and any disorder that increases the amount of mucus in the stool can also cause greenish bowel movements
