Some medicines and even food can cause that to happen and sounds like your protonix is the cause. I think your dr. or pharmacist would be able to aleviate any concerns you have. I actually had this same thing last week and did a google search on "green stool" and found this site: http://ibscrohns.about.com/cs/otherdiseases/a/greenstool.htm -------------------- Erin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IBS-D, GERD...

Reb Reged: 07/09/05 Posts: 987 Loc: Lake Linden, Mich in the U.P. IBS-C Hi Nisha, Green stools are result of excess bile secretion.I doubt the protonix would do that, it may be possible though. Something is causing your gall bladder to secrete to much bile. I had that for a while when I was an undergraduate in my early 20's, and it was due eating too much fried foods.If you do eat a lot of fried or high fat stuff, that's most like- ly the cause of green stools. -Bob -------------------- <img src="http://www.math.mtu.edu/~rwkolkka/BritPicA.jpg"> Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: green stool       #259488 - 04/21/06 11:42 AM Edit Reply Quote LostCode Reged: 04/04/06 Posts: 137 If you got it right after taking protonix it could very well be from that. The last time I had a green stool it was from doing a sauna detox. Drugs can have the same effect. If you keep having it, you may be having a negative reaction to the drug. Be sure to tell your doctor if you have it again. -------------------- Jon - (IBS C) Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
