I googled your question and found that it's probably nothing to worry about. Check out the website: http://altmedicine.about.com/od/gettingdiagnosed/a/green_stools.htm

I'm a physical therapist, so I work with a lot of sick and injured people all day. A lot of people get really frustrated when they can't get any answers about what is wrong with them. Unfortunately, a lot of doctors just assume that a person has an illness without doing the proper diagnostic testing. Most of the time, they're right, but sometimes they get it wrong, and it sounds like they did with you. I agree with the other post, it sounds like you might have a chronic tonsillitis infection. From what I've read, antibiotics don't always get all of the bacteria causing the infection in some tonsillitis cases. I'm assuming you've just been seeing a regular family practice doctor. I would INSIST on getting referred to an ENT specialist (Ear, Nose, and Throat). They have much more training than family practice doctors and they could likely help find the cause of your problem.
Also, I was alarmed when I read that you feel like killing yourself. I have a friend who waited 5 years for a diagnosis of a very rare condition, which unfortunately is life-threatening. She's still alive 10 years later though, and making the most of life. She too, thought of ending her life when her pain got too severe, but she put her trust in God to get her through. I'd encourage you to talk to someone, anyone, who you are close to about how you're feeling (preferrably and adult. Sorry, I don't know how old you are). This isn't something that you have to keep bottled up inside. I think most of us have at some point felt like we would rather die than go through something, and it really helps to share your feelings with someone. Don't worry, they won't label you a psych case! I guarantee that they'll take you seriously. Good luck! I'll keep you in my prayers!
