Green Algae looking stuff in stool?

Hello,

As of late I have been having diarrhea, not every time I poop but often enough to worry. It happens shortly after I eat and each occurrence has had a green, cloudy, almost algae looking, stuff that comes out with it. This has happened six or seven times now in the past week or so. My diet has not drastically changed and I am not taking anything different than normal ( I am diagnosed Adderall for ADD). I have made no major changes to exercise, eating habits, or daily routine.

This is troubling because the onset is fast, one moment I don't have to poop and the next I'll let out a juicy fart that forces me to change my underwear. As you can see, I cannot have this continuing. Thank you in advance for your input and expertise! Feel free to ask any questions, I'll do my best to answer truthfully.

It could be plant material that hasn't had time to digest because of the diarrhea or bile. Sometimes when you have diarrhea you can get green stools due to bile. It isn't anything to worry about. Try to stay hydrated. Do you know why you have diarrhea? If it continues you may want to see your doctor because you can get dehydrated. It could be a side effect of your drug or another drug you are taking. Or, something you ate?
