What Causes Dark Brownish Green Stools After Taking Probiotics?
I started taking probiotics (Raw 50 billion colon health) almost 2 weeks ago, and my stools have been very dark brown-green (sorry for details) in the last few days. I have some discomfort, but nothing terrible. I m 39, relatively healthy, female, 5 8 148 lbs.

Hello,
Thanks for writing to HCM. Noted your concern. Well, the amount you are taking is a little too much. Please discontinue it for now. Take simple yoghurt twice a day and that will keep your gut healthy. Drink plenty of water and this should settle in a couple of days. It would be a good idea to substitute one meal with red grapes for 3 days. Take care.
Regards.
