Hello ,
I have been having green bowl movements for the last 5 days at the most, and I DONT know the reasoning of it! My current medication is prednisone 30mg! i was taking 6mp last week but it made me so sick my doctor had me stop it! Could that be causing it , its solid green and then sometimes liquid green , and then yesterday Iddidn't poop at all? U dont think its c-diff do u I had it once before? But I also have ate quit a few jolly rancher's and a couple glasses crap kool-aid over last ffew days but I wouldn't think it would take at long to get out my system or would it?

Here's what Mayo clinic says about green poop:

Food may be moving through the large intestine too quickly, such as due to diarrhea. As a result, bile doesn't have time to break down completely. Green leafy vegetables, green food coloring, such as in flavored drink mixes or ice pops, iron supplements. A lack of bile in stool.

If it doesn't get better soon, you might want to get stool cultures to make sure you don't have an infection.

I had a blue lolly a few weeks ago which turned my poop an alarming shade of green: blue food colouring + yellow bile = green poop. If you had an entire day without pooping, then I don't think the food is moving too fast through you to be coloured green. When I still had a colon, food went through me in 4-8 hours and I still didn't have green poop. After my last operation, I was pooping green stuff for about a week before my stool turned brown again.

I've had so many odd colors of poop over the years. lol I don't even worry about it too much anymore unless it's very black or A LOT of red. It's usually something I ate, more bile in my system than usual etc..
