Hello,
* As per my case evaluation, in the majority of the cases it co-relate with foodstuffs consumed as spinach or other green stuff.
* If this is not the issue, then fermenting bacterial infection, bile drainage disturbances or other liver pathology should be suspected and evaluated thoroughly.
* The most primary need here is a stool microscopy examination. Do continue to use our medical services.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
