In fact, there are several reasons your poop might take on a greenish hue, including dietary changes or new prescription medications.

Typically, reasons for green poop fall under two categories: illness or food. Here, doctors explain, specifically, the top seven reasons your poop might have a greenish color—and what you can or should do about it.
If you've recently been ill and taken an antibiotic, it's not uncommon to see a color change in your stool, says Eswaran.

If the unusual colors persist, or if you have constant urges to have a bowel movement or to vomit, or if stomach cramps persist, see your doctor.
