Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease
Despite their distinctions, each inflammatory bowel illness might increase the likelihood of diarrhea resulting in green stools.
The digestive system becomes inflamed due to Crohn’s disease, primarily in the small intestine and the beginning of the large intestine. Diarrhea is a prominent symptom that causes the stool to appear green due to undigested bile. Crohn’s patients may also suffer stomach discomfort, exhaustion, fever, weight loss, bloody stools, decreased appetite, and malnutrition.
Ulcerative colitis is characterized by an inflamed digestive tract with ulcers, often in the large intestine and rectum. In addition to diarrhea, the patient may have stomach cramps, rectal discomfort, a feeling of urgency to defecate, bowel hemorrhage, weight loss, exhaustion, fever, and other unpleasant symptoms.
Doctors are unsure of the specific etiology of inflammatory bowel illnesses, although an autoimmune component is suspected. Therefore, consult a doctor if the patient is experiencing recurrent bowel issues, stomach discomfort, or other symptoms that appear alongside the green stool to determine whether they have an inflammatory bowel illness.
