Hi...

Welcome to healthcare magic.

As per your complain you have problem of green stool that may be because of more iron rich food intake.

Giardia protozoa infection may cause green stool problem.
Stool sample test is helpful for further diagnosis.
Irritable bowel syndrom also lead to this type of symptoms.
Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis.
Detail history and investigation give exact idea about problems.

I hope my guidance helpful to you..
Take care.
