Hello, Welcome to HCM.
You have not mentioned what treatment you have got. Also you have not mentioned whether you have any other symptoms like nausea, fever, chills, abdominal pain, flatulence etc.
Merely having green stools is not indicative of recurrence of amoebiasis. If you have taken adequate treatment than chance of recurrence is less, though carrier stage and chronic infections are known to occur.
Currently, if you only have green stool and no other symptoms then you should wait and watch. If in future you develop more symptoms mentioned earlier along with loose stools or with blood in stool then you should get you stool examination and other tests done for amoebiasis.
Hope this will be helpful.
Do ask if any further question is there.
Thanks for using HCM. Take care.
