Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, the green bowel movement indicates
@ intestine infection
@ side effect of certain antibiotic or analgesic on gut flora with secondary changes
@ alteration in bile drainage system or bile salt formation
* It may be possible to co relate both episodes of renal colic and green stool in that direction of malabsoption phenomenon through gut with altered homeostasis of calcium and phosphate to cause stone formation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
