Too much bile getting secreted when you are digesting food. Or it could be from eating too many leafy green vegitables. See a doc if it persists when you know you aren't eating anything green and it is still green.

too much vitamins will only hurt you and waste money and bad for your kidney, and liver.
I only take Mutivitamin one a day and only maybe five time per week.

I think vitamins could cause this. FYI - just heard on NPR that a recent study showed that taking vitamins while suffering from cancer may actually make the cancer or tumor grow more rapidly... interesting and scary.
Good luck with your green poop.
Green stools are basically normal. They are usually seen with more forceful diarrhea. Bile is a fat-digesting substance that is secreted in the first part of the small intestine. It has a brilliant green color. That color is how the mixture of food and digestive juice actually appears in the small intestine. Eventually the remaining mixture of undigested food material and digestive juices, which is now a waste product, reaches the colon for elimination. Bacteria then break the bile salts down into simpler substances which are darker in color. Hence the material that will be passed as stool normally undergoes a progressive color change from green to more yellow to brown. So green stool simply means that the mixture of food and digestive juices is passing through the large intestine faster than normal (a "decreased colonic transit time"). That is no surprise when a child has diarrhea. If the reverse situation occurs, in that the stool remains for an abnormally long time in the colon (as with constipation), then the color of the stool can become quite dark.
yes it could. If you eat a lot of green veggies you have that too.
Pepto Bismol can give dark stools. (No you are not bleeding out)
Pink Wine coolers can give you pink poos. (Dye) Don't panic.
You take too much chlorophyll.
Cut back on the vits. Too many are actually bad for you. Your body pees out most of it anyhow. What it doesn't pee out it builds up in the body causing some potentially dangerous problems.
One good mutli-vit a day is actually twice the dosage of what you really need. I kid you not. How do you think they came up with what people need every day anyhow? The government studied and studied it and then said, "People need this much of this vit and this much of that vit... but just to be on the safe side and make sure everyone gets enough, we'll double the numbers." I kid you not!
Some foods and medications (including vits) can cause the color change, but it could be excess bile, too. If you've changed the way you are eating or have started a new supplement, it could be the reason for the change.
