Nell, as you're probably aware, ipi can affect bowel movements. As someone who had ipi-related colitis, I would suggest taking any change seriously (as you're doing) and report it to your onc. I don't recall having green stool, but my stool was loose (and often bloody) for some time before I developed full blown colitis (which I was on the lookout for). I carried a bottle of prednisone with me and it came in very handy when I developed colitis over a weekend. As you may know, one sign of colitis is that you have diarrhea that cannot be controlled by Immodium (or perhaps Lomotil) within a 24 hour period.

My daughter got C.Diff. (sorry don't know what it stands for anymore) during the 3rd session of bio-chemotherapy. She had to be in isolation at the hospital and it requires treatment. Vancomycin is better than Flagyl. Flagyl made her throw up. They diagnosed it by doing a culture of the bowel movement and it was green diarrhea.
