What Could Be the Cause of Green-Colored Stool with Multiple Gastric Ulcer Polyps?

Update Date: Source: Network

Physiological Factors

If you frequently consume green foods in daily life, such as spinach or lettuce, which contain a large amount of iron and chlorophyll, they may combine with sulfides in the intestine to form ferrous sulfide, resulting in changes in stool color. Generally, no special treatment is required, and attention should be paid to a reasonable diet.

Pathological Factors

1. Indigestion: Long-term overeating or eating too much greasy and indigestible food can easily increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, affecting normal digestive function and leading to this condition. Common symptoms include abdominal distension and belching, and some people may also experience black stool. It is recommended to follow the doctor's advice and take medicine such as Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian (digestion-enhancing tablets) and Lactobacillus tablets to promote gastrointestinal motility and help improve symptoms.

2. Helicobacter pylori infection: When infected with Helicobacter pylori, it can damage the gastric mucosa, leading to the above phenomenon. Antibiotics such as Amoxicillin capsules and Clarithromycin capsules can be used under the guidance of a doctor for anti-infective treatment. In addition, it may also be caused by irritable bowel syndrome, resulting in similar symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid delay in treatment.
