Is it normal for the stool to be green?

Patient's question:

Today I ate a little bit of food and my poop is green, is that normal?
Past treatment history and effectiveness: None
What kind of help is needed: I want to know if this is a normal phenomenon.

Doctor's answer:

Consider the possibility that it may be caused by indigestion. Exposure to cold is also one of the common reasons that can cause excessive intestinal peristalsis and result in green stools. Green stools caused by this reason may also be accompanied by symptoms such as fever. If only green stools are present, pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm, especially at night, and it should recover completely in a few days. If there are fever symptoms, symptomatic treatment for fever should be administered simultaneously. Additionally, if not only green stools are present but also frequent bowel movements with a lot of moisture, accompanied by nausea and vomiting, it is advisable to promptly seek medical attention for a thorough examination of the stools and symptomatic treatment.
