What Causes My Son S Greenish Stools?

hi, my son is 7month old and his stool is greenish in colour for quite a long time,for about a month or so. i was so worried and examined its stool but the report was normal. There was no digested RBC or anything .But still couldn t find the reason of the colour of the stool.Doctor prescribed enterogermina 5ml two times a day for 5 days.Before that my son was having Neopeptine drops 3 times a day but there was no change in the colour. i just want to ask what could be the cause of this green colour stool.Is there anything serious? Is it safe to give prescribed drug enterogermina to my baby.

I don't think he needs ANY treatment. You should stop worrying and start enjoying life. Enterogermina might sound like a good medicine as it is so expensive, but believe me, your son doesn't need any treatment, as his stools are normal FOR HIM. The undigested and chemically digested by-products of his bile are green in colour, hence the green colour of his stool.
