<<Green stools just means intestinal hurry and bile undigested (not
necessarily over-produced) because of the rapid transit. Common causes
include oversupply, food intolerance, low fat content of diet. Acid stools
result from fermentation of sugars such as lactose not adequately digested
by enzymes; frequent sign of lactose overload. Common causes oversupply,
food intolerance and anything that damages intestinal mucosa: giardia,
viruses, antigens, bacteria, thrush....and so causes loss of lactase, teh
enzyme needed to split lactose.
