What Causes Upset Stomach And Green Colored Stool?

I have had an upset stomach for a few days now. I have been going to the bathroom 2-3 times a day, it has been a light greenish color on the days I feel the most nausea. Is this a flu bug of some sort or could it be caused from the antibiotics and other meds I ve been on recently?

Thank you very much for contacting healthcare magic.

You gave problem of green stool that may be because of iron supplements or iron rich food consuption.

Some antibiotics use in pseudomembranous cololitis may cause green stool.

In celiac disease severe gluten intolerance may cause green stool.
Eating disorder like binge eating may cause green stool.

Protozoa infection like giardia infection may ruled out.
In stomach flue may cause green stool.
More consuption of green leaf vegetables can cause green stool.
Lack amount of digestive enzyme not alter a stool color.So it is green stool.

Consent a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis.
Stool examination test is helpful for diagnose.
Abdominal ultrasound sonography is helpful for further diagnosis.

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