Okay, I just did a fast google, and what I
found was:
what is the cause of green poop?
(question submitted by ap, crazymic98
and several others)
I have consulted with a doctor, a
physiologist and a microbiologist on this
question, and the following summarizes
their answers:
healthy people can have green poop if
they eat a diet rich in leafy green
vegetables, or if they consume large
quantities of food coloring (in ice cream,
cake frosting etc.).
Green poop can also be caused by
excess iron in the diet, from dietary
supplements, for example. If the body
does not absorb all the iron consumed, the
iron may stain the poop green, the color
of iron (ii) salts. Ordinarily, the green
color may be masked by the normal brown
poop color, but if digestion is thrown off
by illness so that bilirubin is less
concentrated in the intestine, the green
color may become apparent. This can
happen when a person is afflicted with
diarrhea.
Green poop in sick babies may come
from iron in baby formula not being
properly absorbed, or by green pigments in
bile salts (again, green from iron).

Sounds more like something he ate is not
totally agreeing with him. Not just
indegestion.
