Hi Kim!

Great to hear about the improvements! It's much easier to keep going

when you can at least see some progress. Welcome to the group.

There is a list of stool qualities and what they mean at the

following link. It is called Studying Stools and is under Related

Topics at my enzyme site. This is not in the book (I will have to add

a section on green stools):

Here are several links on green stools:

Usually this is from eating a green or blue food, or eating a food or

supplement he does not tolerate.

Can also be related to bile.
