Answer 2

Yes, for the most part, it is normal to have green feces. If you eat or drink something that is purple or blue, that mixes with your bile, and the resulting color of the feces is green.

However, if your skin is also green or yellow, you should see a doctor, since that could be a sign of liver disease.
