Why is the stool green?

Green stool is a common phenomenon in daily life. It is mainly caused by poor gastrointestinal function or dysfunction. The color of stool is mainly determined by bile secretion. If the bile secretion decreases, the color of stool will become some clay color or milky white. If the bile secretion is excessive in a short period of time, the color of stool will be dark green.

Green stool is related to excessive bile, which may be a temporary stimulation of bile secretion. If this symptom is seen clinically, it is also caused by excessive bile secretion. But you don't need to worry about it in your life. Improving some common dietary therapies can also have a therapeutic effect on excessive bile secretion.

There are many contributing factors to functional dyspepsia, among which mental factors are the most common. When one is under mental stress or depressed, gastric motility and secretion weaken or may even stop. When one is depressed or discouraged, intestinal motility is inhibited. Anxious or depressed mental states can cause changes in the secretion of certain hormones and autonomic nervous function in the body, leading to functional dyspepsia.

Patients with functional dyspepsia should avoid greasy and irritating foods, quit smoking and drinking, develop good living habits, avoid overeating and eating too much before going to bed; they can eat small meals frequently; strengthen physical exercise; and pay special attention to maintaining a happy mood and a good state of mind.

TCM treatments for non-ulcer indigestion:

Non-ulcer dyspepsia is a disease caused by impaired gastric motility.

The above is why the stool is green. As well as some common oral medications that aid digestion, the bile phenomenon will be normal. In daily life, it is also caused by some functional indigestion. Excessive bile secretion requires avoiding greasy and irritating foods, quitting smoking and drinking, and developing good living habits to avoid overeating. Therefore, in daily life, you must pay attention to dietary adjustments.
