Poop is green

I have never had green poop in my life...and then this last week I've had green poop for 6 days...the only thing I have done is drink grape gatorade and eat green grapes...Idk if this is whats causing it? My GI dr told me not to worry unless its diarrhea and its not so I guess its fine? He would know I guess but this is way gross!

Cashews caused this problem for me. Although, that caused me to have an upset stomach. I drank Blue and purple Gatorade to help replenish my electrolytes.

I have had the same green stool when consuming purple sqwincher.
Sqwincher is a sports drink similar to Gatorade.
I had analyzed the cycle of my bowel movements thoroughly and the green stool usually tends to pass after about 24 hours after you cease to consume the purple Sqwincher.
I went a couple days without consuming it and then 24 hours after I had resumed drinking  it my stool became green again.

Hi there.
I also had this in the past. Whenever i eat Lucky charms cereal or similar cereals i have the green bm. I wasnt only eating a bowl a day . I was eating a couple bowls a day. I was told that by eating large quantities of the cereal i was taking in large amounts of niacin ect. Cereals are fortified with vitamins.
I mentioned it to a friend and certain foods make her bm green also.
Im sure its food related.
Stay healthy!

Grape gatorade powerade or koolaide = Green poop.  You are ok :)  I have done this before.  The purple drinks have blue dye which makes the stool this color.
