Dark Green baby poo?!

My 5 month old has just started on the aptamil comfort formula as recommended by the doc after being really colicky since birth. She's been on it about 10 days now. She's had the worst smelly dark green poos. Is this just because I've changed her formula?

I'm sure there is a warning on the box that it can cause green poos so I'd say it was normal

From aptamil website:

It is completely normal for your baby’s stools to change when you switch to Aptamil Comfort. You may find they are softer, looser, lighter, or sometimes even green while their digestive system adjusts to the new formula.

Cow and gate caused green poo for my DS. We introduced 1oz water a day to help with poo and it's more of an orangey colour now. Green is apparently common.
