It’s never a fun day when we discover that are poop has turned green. When this happens, we often have many questions. Is this dangerous? How long will it last? Why is my poop green?

Well, to help calm your nerves, I would like to answer a few of these questions for you.

The first thing that you need to know is that green poop is not at all dangerous. Almost every person will have their stool turn green at one point or another during their life, and often it goes away within a just a few short days.

Green poop is most often caused by one of three things: too much iron in your body, too many artificial colors from drinks, or from eating more vegetables than your body is able to digest. None of these reasons is very serious, and within a few days your poop will be back to its regular color.
