Stool Color Guide

Green Stool

Often normal but can indicate rapid transit time or dietary factors.

  • Natural Chlorophyll: Green vegetables, spinach, kale, and other leafy greens.
  • Food Coloring: Artificial food dyes (e.g., green icing, candies).
  • Rapid Transit: Food moves quickly through the intestines, less bile breakdown.
  • Iron Supplements: Some iron supplements can cause greenish stool.
