Patient's question:
A child has green poop and doesn't know why—is it a problem with formula or something else? They have been to the hospital several times, taken medicine, and tried changing the formula. What kind of formula is best for green poop? What is the reason for green poop?Doctor's answer:
Green diarrhea If the stool is green, with small amounts of fecal matter and a lot of mucus, it may be due to hunger-induced nausea and vomiting. Some children who consume formula milk may have dark green stools. The reason is that most formula milks contain a certain amount of iron, which, after passing through the digestive system and coming into contact with air, turns into a dark green color. The above suggestions are for the question "Why does my child have green stools? Is it a problem with the formula milk?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
