My son is 9, he just had a very large bowel movement that was a bright pea to lime green. He has not had any foods with green, blue, red or purple food coloring in the last few weeks, nor has he eaten a great deal of green vegetables - he eats as few as possible in fact. The stool had some small light brown round stools attached to it, but he has never exhibited anything like this before. Should I be concerned?
Hi there, Thank you for your question. Stool color can be caused by foods, liquids, mild virus or medication. There is no concern for a green stool. As long as he is not having diarrhea or constipation, there is nothing to worry about. The only color of stool that would be concerning is gray, white, tarry or jet black in color. Hope this helps out and if you have any further questions, we are glad to help.
