What Does Green Stool Mean In Adults?
I've been having green feces for the past three days. It really came on rather suddenly. For the most part, they're still solid. They're just... Green. I haven't been eating a lot of green veggies or anything else. I feel okay, I'm not having cramping or pain. I have no idea what is causing this. Should I see a doctor about this?
