What Causes Severe Flatulence And Green Coloured Bowel Movements?

My son goes to his dads every other Saturday night and all day Sunday. (And every Wednesday night into Thursday) when I get him back he is farting really bad, has bad gas and his first couple poops is extremely bright like green. He is allergic to milk but his dad give him junk food and juice all the time (too much) even fist thing in the morning. I was told by a nurse it could be from him having to much sugar and juice. Could that be the problem?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The green colour stools with gas may be a sign of indigestion. A diet that contains lots of fibres found in fruit and vegetables and whole grains can cause it. I don't think it is a problem.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
