What Cause Stool Appeared In Green Color?

Hallo doctor. I am an adult man aged 53 years, 70 kgs weight and 165cm tall. I had cereals in the morning, some eggs and bread around midday and spaghetti with chicken for dinner yesterday. This morning I woke up and passed a very green stool and failed to understand why as I never took any greens or salads. Furthermore over the last week or so I wake up with a dry mouth and a slightly bitter taste in the mouth. Please advise.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your complain you have problem of green stool that may be because of giardia protozoa infection or other intestinal condition may be ruled out. Gluten intolerance in celiac disease may cause green stool. More iron rich food consumption also lead to green stool.

Viral gastroenteritis also cause this type of symptoms. Stool sample test is helpful to detect if any infection is present or not. Colonoscopy can be done for further diagnosis. Consult a gastroenterologist for further information.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rachana Goswami
