What Causes Greenish Stool Discharge?

Hi I have green diarrhea. I had some spotting last week and doctors said everything was fine. I had the diarrhea for about 4 days now. Its not bad and never was bad diarrhea. Its kind of turned brown with a dark green color and at times just seems like soft stool that turns into a little of the diarrhea afterwards. Should i go back to the doctors?
