Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years ago

A. the green colour that many times is present in the stool is due to the digestive enzymes (bile )present in the stomach and when the food reacts with the digestive enzymes this can give green colour to the stool. the importance is of consistency of the stool so if the consistency is watery and green then only you need to meet the doctor but if it is semi solid to solid green stool then no need to meet the doctor.

A. Not necessary because of that sometimes it could be due to stomach infection as well so you’ll have to be sure about it so you can just check the gums of your child probably you will have a much more assurance otherwise you can get it checked with your doctor as wellWrite Your Answer Here
