For the past week or so, my stool has always been green. What does this mean?

Hello,
Are your stools liquid and do you have any other symptoms? Are you taking any medications, allergies? Have you changed your eating habits recently?

Hello. I do not take any medication. No severe allergies. They are not liquid. They are normal except for the color
I have not changed my eating habits per se but I have been eating better for a few weeks now

Have you eaten more green foods such as lettuce or green fruits/vegetables in the past week (stool may be a reflection of your diet)? Are there times when the stool is greener than other times? Have you had gastrointestinal problems in the past? Is the color dark green or fluorescent green/yellow?

I eat more fruit. Not necessarily green ones. More greens, yes. For example, I often accompany my dinners with broccoli, salad, cucumber
otherwise, my stool is always green. It's dark green and I've never had a problem before

Hello,
So as long as there are no symptoms, the green coloring is probably related to the consumption of green food and does not present any danger. If abdominal pain or diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms appear, you should consult a doctor.
