Question

After eating something today, my stool turned green. Is this normal?

Answer

Green stools may be a result of dyspepsia or exposure to cold. If only the stool is green and there are no other symptoms, such as fever, it is usually not something to worry about. You can help restore normalcy by keeping your abdomen warm, especially at night. If fever or other symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea with excessive water content occur, you should seek medical attention promptly for a detailed examination and treatment based on the results.
