What Causes Green Diarrhea?
I had greenish diarehea around 3:30 then around 7:00 I had just a little bit gooey greenish water poop. I've eaten salad for the last week and broccoli on occasion so i'm not sure if this could be the cause but i'm wondering if this is something I should be worried about? I've also been worried that I may be pregnant. Not sure if this would be why either but what could cause this and is it serious?

Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Nothing to worry about green color stool.
Food may be moving through the large intestine too quickly, such as due to diarrhea. As a result, bile doesn't have time to break down completely . cause green color stools.
Foods causing it:Green leafy vegetables, green food coloring, such as in flavored drink mixes or ice pops, iron supplement etc.
