Hello gemrichtiana,
Gee, with green poop it sounds like you ate something very bad perhaps like old chicken in the fridge. No wonder your stomach is upset and you're having diarrhea. The first thing your intestinal tract will do when it gets something bad is try to throw it out as fast as it can and that is generally in the form of diarrhea. This prevents you from absorbing much of the tainted meat or perhaps a bad can good you may have eaten. If the strain of bacteria is mild it may take your system a few days to clear itself. To be on the safe side your doctor has already given you antibiotics so you should be okay. Food poisoning is definitely no fun but I think most of us has experienced at least once in our life times. Hang in there, you'll be okay.
