POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. Green poop can occur for several reasons, including:
1. Diet: Consuming green foods (like spinach or peas) or foods with green food coloring can lead to green stool.
2. Bile: Stool may appear green if it moves too quickly through the intestines, not allowing bile (which is yellow-green) to break down completely.
3. Digestive Issues: Conditions like diarrhea can result in green stool due to rapid transit through the digestive tract.
4. Infections: Certain infections, especially gastrointestinal ones, can affect stool color.
5. Iron Supplements: If a child or adult is taking iron supplements, it can also cause green stool.
If the green stool is persistent or accompanied by other symptoms (like diarrhea, fever, or abdominal pain), it's best to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
