Brief Answer:
Please start probiotic intake.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Green stool can appear if there is no good bacteria in the digestive tract. This bacteria in normal conditions digest yellow bile to brown stercobilinogen. When there is only few of this bacteria, we get the mixture of brown and yellow which is green.
That is why I suggest you to start probiotic intake. If it wont help in few days, please have stool tests done.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
