What Causes Dark Green Stool?
Hi, my daughter has dark green stools with what looks to be mold on it. I've never seen anything like it and I have 3 children who are now adults... any help would be great, thanks. PS...She hasn't had any food coloring and doesn't usually eat green vegetables.

According to your complain you have a green stool problem that one may be because of taking iron rich food.
Giardia protozoa infection or stomach flu may cause this type of symptoms. Stool examination test is helpful for further diagnosis. Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis.
