    Bile makes feces turn brown, so lack of bile would make it stay it's original green color. You may have a gallbladder issue. Do you get an upset stomach or excessive belching after greasy fried foods? You will notice babies will have green stool frequently because their digestive system is not yet fully developed and their gallbladder is not functioning at adult capacity.

    If you eat a lot of grapes or drink a lot of grape juice, the pigments will make it turn green (even purple grapes).

    It's usually cause by something you drank or ate. I know grape colas will turn it green. Weird, huh?
