Went and had a small bm, it was kinda bright green. Anybody know what caused it? I don't wanna call the doctor unless it keeps happening throughout the day

You don't remember eating a green sno ball or icee or any type of green dyed drinks or candy because that can do it too.

So i got a call back. She explained to me that poop can periodically change colors. As long as I'm not bleeding she says I'm fine

The smell wasn't abnormal and it wasn't too strong. I'm waiting on her to return my call

I just started eating a lot of veggies and its possible to turn it green. If there is a very strong small that doesn't smell normal then its infection

I know it's not the prenatal vitamins. I've been taking those about 3 months now. I was thinking infection was a possibility. Thanks ladies

Go to hospital or doctor asap...
green poop is sign of infection.

If your taking prenatals already it could be that... they can also make your bm seem black too
