Does Pumpkin Seed Oil Causes Green Stools?
I recently started taking pumpkin seed oil to help arthritis. The next day, I was shocked to find I was pooping John Deere green. Christmas green in fact. I felt fine otherwise, but I quit taking it and the stool returned to normal the next day. Does Pumpkin seed oil do that? Is it a health concern, or should I simply get used to pooping in technicolor?

Hello,
Just check it out have you eaten dark green leafy vegetables, they may give color to your stools. Other possibilities like liver or biliary abnormalities may give a dark green color.
Avoid spicy food and alcohol. If you are allergic to seed oil you have to stop it and see. Chances of few people may develop allergy to it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
