There is a simple explanation for green stools.
The liver constantly makes bile, a bright green fluid, that is secreted directly into the small intestine or stored in the gallbladder.
Bile is needed to absorb fats and fat soluble vitamins. It also helps to keep feces soft.
Bile is responsible for giving stools their characteristic brown color. As bile makes its way through the intestines, it progressively changes color from green to yellow to brown, due to the action of bacteria in the large intestine on the bile salts.
Green stools often indicate that food has passed through the intestines faster than normal (called decreased colon transit time), before it could be changed from green to brown.
Diarrhea decreases colon transit time, so any condition that causes diarrhea can result in green stools.
Other causes of green stools are:
laxative use
antibiotic use
medication side effects
food poisoning
celiac disease
ulcerative colitis
Crohn's disease
malabsorption
irritable bowel syndrome
bacterial overgrowth
infectious diarrhea - salmonella and giardia in particular anxiety
traveler's diarrhea
cancer
Foods and supplements that can cause green stools include:
chlorophyll
iron supplements
algae

This means the natural flora (bacteria) in your large intestine is low
or got killed off.
Did you use antibiotics recently?
Go to the natural health / food store,many have a doctor on staff,
call and ask what days are good to speak to the doctor.
This can be fixed for just a few bucks.
My closest friend had this condition last year.

well if your bowels were green occasionally but normal then there would be no indications of a problem as green stool usually arises from green foods like vegetables and like. however diarrhea with green mucus would be indicating the beginning of the irritable bowel syndrome.

No, it is not bad at all, it simply means you probably ate alot of green vegetables not long ago.
