Not normally cause for concern. It means your food has passed through your bowels fast with the aid of a laxative. If no, then see your doctor If you are alarmed.

I believe that green in the stool is extra bile, and it is not cause for concern.

It is something I would go to the doctor for, not urgently but quickly. That being said there are certain purple food dyes that will cause this to happen. For example I had a FULL pound package of blueberry twizler candy. The next day I left several kerry green turds in the toilet. Not something I was concerned with but if it happened for longer then it takes to void that from my system I would have gone to a doctor.

You really don't provide a lot of information. Even if you had, there are no doctors on this site. If you're concerned then I'd see your doctor. I don't think there's a reason to go to the ER, but again that's your decision, we can't give you a medical opinion.
