Brief Answer: XXXXXXX like gastroenteritis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Most probably green poop is due to acute gastroenteritis or food poisoning. Most often it is viral in origin and self limiting without much complications. Other possibilities like malabsorption and celiac disease can also cause similar symptoms:
As I said most cases will settle by itself. Certain home remedies can ease your symptoms and promote recovery. Drink plenty of clear liquids, such as water or clear soup. You can also take ORS solution to prevent dehydration and improve symptoms. Refrain from eating foods that are spicy, greasy, or fried, as these can irritate your stomach.Avoid alcohol and dairy products also.
If the frequency of bowel movements is high, you can take over the counter available drugs like lactobacillus ( yogut) for symptomatic relief.
You can wait couple of days for spontaneous recovery.
If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated. In severe cases a stool routine examination and empirical antibiotics may be required.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks
