Question
Why do babies have green stools?
Answer
Green stools in babies may be due to dyspepsia. During dyspepsia, food stays in the intestines for a shorter period of time, which means the bacteria in the intestines do not have enough time to break down the green pigment in the food, and it is then excreted with the stool. It is advisable to avoid giving too much fatty and greasy food to reduce the digestive burden. Consider using some traditional Chinese medicine to aid digestion, such as Baohe Pill, or taking roasted and shelled pumpkin seeds by decoction. These methods can help improve the symptoms of dyspepsia.
