Green Stool Since Starting Mononessa BC. Cause Of Concern?
Hi, I am a 22 y/o white female, 5 7 and 130 lbs with no major problems in my history. I started on Mononessa BC 3 weeks ago and have been noticing green stool ever since. I do not eat enough leafy greens for this to be the cause and I do not regularly take any supplements or vitamins . The stool is not loose or watery and I am experiencing no other digestive problems. In fact, I feel like my bowel habits have improved. Is the color cause for concern?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The change in color of stool to green is not a worrisome finding. This can happen due to a partially digested food and a mild gut infection. This will improve on its own in next few days.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
