We occasionally get green poop sometimes which can be brought on by specific meals, drugs, diets, and early pregnancy. Although green poop may look strange, there is no need to be alarmed. Visit a doctor right away if your stool turns to another color, such as red, black, or white.
Our feces should typically have a dark brown color. The liver produces bilirubin, which is what gives our feces its healthy brown color when food and bilirubin combine in the intestines. However, when you’re sick, some steps in the process are skipped, which causes your stool to change color.
Stools may turn green as a result of certain diets. For instance, green feces may indicate incomplete digestion of the meal. In addition, the same substance that gives green to leafy vegetables—chlorophyll—can also give excrement its green hue. The color of your faeces may change if you consume too many of them.
Additionally, green poop can occur if you are unknowingly pregnant, using certain medications while pregnant, or taking iron supplements. If your newborn baby’s excrement appears green, it’s typically because the mother is either eating colored food or consuming too many green vegetables, which normally turn brown in a day or two.
