Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood our concerns.
C-section can not cause green watery stools.
The cause of green watery stools, nausea, vomiting can most probably be due to intestinal infection.
I would advise her the following in such a situation:
Get stool and blood test.
Consult a Doctor to get breast-feeding safe antibiotics for control of intestinal infection.
Also needed are probiotics, multivitamins and other supplements that are given for post-C-section.
Give yogurts and banana.
Plenty of oral fluids and electrolyte solutions for avoiding dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
I find this answer helpful
