Green Stools Revisted


  A week or so ago I inquired as to the cause of Green Stools.  The answer went into details about the dangers of black, tarry stools, etc.  You never answered the original question.
  What causes Green Stools?  Bacteria?  Virus?  You may not consider it a 'serious' enough problem, but with all of my health problems, I find this problem recurring after 2 days of intense abdominal pain and diarrhea.  Please answer the basic question:
  What Causes Green Stools?
Dear Mithranda,
I mentioned that what you eat causes your stools to be a certain color . I'm sure that bacteria in the colon and bile pigments also influence stool color. Generally, green stools are normal.
