Q: green bowel movement

asked by: dividendwa on January 7th, 2009

I have experienced green bowel movement over a prolonged period of time. There was a period of time during which I rarely ate vegetables or foods with green die or huge quantities of iron. I now eat fairly healthy with vegetables everyday but recently acquired a mild but increasing lower abdominal pain on the right side in addition to the green movement. Why would the color initially change to green with no diet change?

green bowel movements.

I have been told that this is because the bile in your stomach is not broken down properley and comes out as a green bowel movement, I have this poroblem at the moment and are a bit concerned, I have diarrhoea as well, Do you. ??

Thanks for the reply. No diarrhea, but sometimes excessive gas. It is comforting to know that I am not the only one going "green". Too bad its from the inside out.

Color could be from asparagus.

Your pain only occurs with this particular food? If so, stop eating it and see if your green stools will disappear as well.
