Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Green stool is because food residue is digested by bile, and bile is yellow and makes the stool acidic. After excretion, it occasionally turns green when exposed to air. Breastfed babies' stools tend to be acidic, which can result in green stools. Since infant formula is now close in composition to breast milk, green stools may also occur. There is no need to worry as long as the stool characteristics are normal. Loose stools indicate poor digestion, and you can add some lactose-free glucose to help with digestion and absorption.
