My 55 year old mom had a burst appendix surgery 7 days back . Doc says she is doing fine. She is still in hospital . Has green stools . She has started drinking fluids little , but they keep coming out of her feeding tube through her nose. the feeding tube is for drainage . she drinks fluids via mouth only . is this normal ( to have green stools & food not staying in the stomach ).
Hi dear since your mom has undergone surgery for burst appendix, her bowel movements at this point may be irregular. And it's quite natural. Hence your doctor has put feeding tube(Rules tube-both for feeding and for Chat Doctor.  Since she s not taking adequate food oral her stool will be green because it contains lots of BILE. Once she restores her bowel movements she will be fine. I hope this answer helps you.  Take care of your mom
