What is the green stool? (adult)
Hello:

I'm glad to answer your questions.

The green stool is watery or mushy, with sour smell and foam, which is more common in diseases such as indigestion and intestinal dysfunction. If the green stool is mixed with pus, it is the manifestation of acute enteritis or bacillary dysentery. After major abdominal surgery or patients receiving extensive antibiotic treatment, such as sudden appearance of green watery stool with fishy smell and gray-white flaky translucent egg-green pseudomembrane, it may be Staphylococcus aureus enteritis. In addition, eating a lot of food containing chlorophyll, or the acidity in the intestine is too high, will also make the feces turn green.

Healthy people's stools are yellow or brown, tubular, yellow when eating more carbohydrates, and brown when eating more protein. Some diseases or individual drugs and food can affect the color change of stool, so the pathological changes of organs can also be observed from the color of stool.

Green stool: Adults suffer from diseases such as indigestion and intestinal dysfunction. If green stool is mixed with pus, it is acute enteritis. In addition, if you eat a lot of vegetables, or the acidity in the intestine is too high, it will also make the stool green. If the stool of infants is green, it is diarrhea, accompanied by watery or mushy, frothy and sour smell.

I hope my answer will help you. If you have any questions, please consult me again. I wish you good health.
