Can't help you, but I sympathize. My baby was a green pooper for about a month. I also ruled out teh imbalance, and sickness. Still have no idea what it was. But, she was healthy, and is fine now. I decided it was just an individual difference. the only possibility is that my daughter was quite jaundiced unit a month old, and the green poop went away when the yellowish tinge did. Is your baby jaundiced?
Green poop problems

Mine too was a green pooper and it left huge terrible rashes on his bottom. His stomach at 2 still isn't quite right. I think he has allergies to milk and wheat, but the allergist on our insurance doesn't test children under 4!!!

I even had his poo tested at the lab for a rare bacteria from farming areas, we don't live around farming areas. I honestly forgot what the name of the bacteria was, but I had to collect the poo and bring it to the lab (this was almost impossible to do because it was so liquidy it just absorbed into the dipe).
I was also under the impression it was a foremilk problem. It might have been. He nursed well too, but was never a plump baby. Do you nurse on the side last nursed on, first for the next feeding? I didn't and now with my 3rd I am and she is plump and doesn't have the green poos.

Try the allergy question with your doc. Mine was not enthused by my request and blew me off, but I still think it was allergy related.
Doug now 2 has had been runny poop free for a few months until today. I think he may be allergic to wheat. The allergy care center on our insurance won't test children for food allergies b/c they out grow them!

I thought it was dairy and I definitely saw a change after I cut dairy out of my diet when I was nursing him. But he tolerates some dairy fine.
He doesn't like bread products in general. I think it is because they do a number to his stomach.
The acid burns are horrible, I loved the Weleda diaper care cream. The calendula really helps the skin heal.
